<p> | <p> [[Dothan]] (''dô'than'' ), ''two cisterns.'' Where Joseph found his brethren, Genesis 37:17, and [[Elisha]] resided. 2 Kings 6:13. It was on the south side of the plain of Jezreel, 12 miles north of Samaria; now called Tel-Dothân, five miles southwest of Jenin. Numerous bottled-shaped cisterns hewn in the rock are still found, which are supposed to resemble the "pit" of Genesis 37:24. Caravans still pass this place, as of old, on their way from Damascus to Egypt. </p> | ||
