        <p> <strong> DOPHKAH </strong> . A station in the itinerary of the children of [[Israel]] ( Numbers 33:12 f.). This station and the next one, <strong> [[Alush]] </strong> , which lie between the ‘encampment by the sea’ and Rephidim, have not been identified, and they are not alluded to in Exodus. It is possible that <em> [[Dophkah]] </em> is an erroneous transcription of <em> Mafkah </em> , the name of an Egyp. district near the <em> Wady Maghara </em> . </p>

        <p> (Hebrews Dophkah', דָּפְקָה, according to Gesenius, a knocking; accord. to F ü rst, cattle-driving; Sept. ῾Ραφακά, by error of ר for ד; Vulg. Dapaca), the eighth place of encampment of the Israelites in coming out of [[Egypt]] ( Numbers 33:12). It was situated in the desert of Sin, on the eastern shore of the western arm of the Red Sea, probably at the mouth of Wady Feiran. (See [[Exode]]). Pococke ( East, 1:235) thinks it lies east of Thor, in Wady Hibran; but this is apparently conjecture. Furst ( Hebrews Handw. s.v.), after Seetzen (Zach's Correspond. 27:71), says it is the modern el- Tobbacha; which, if the el-Tubukah of Robinson ( Res. 2:388, 648), is far away, and probably the ancient Tagoba (q.v.); but if in the valley Kineh (Keil, Exodus page76), would be precisely opposite our location (Robinson, 1:121, 122). </p>
