CCEL

Simple station listing.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Maseroth, excluding or chains or succeeding or of discipline. In our codex we read Mazureth" (82).

663. Maththanem. Numbers 21:18; K. 126:14; L. 274:82.

This entry is out of order and is therefore suspect.

The location is on the edge of the desert. Kh or Tell el Medeiyineh is approximately at this indicated location and would be the eastern outpost for Madaba (K. 128:19).

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Mathana, gift" (82).

664. Misōr. Deuteronomy 3:10; K. 126:16; L. 274:84.

Simple biblical notation (cf. K. 128:17).

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Misor, straight or plain or field" (87).

665. Machanarath. Deuteronomy 3:7; K. 126:17; L. 274:85.

Simple biblical notation. The MA may be the Hebrew "from." The LXX also has this form.

666. Madbaris. Deuteronomy 4:43; K. 126:18; L. 275:86.

Textual variant Mambrēs (Greek).

An etymological entry.

667. Misadai. Deuteronomy 10:6; K. 126:19; L. 275:87.

Greek confused the Hebrew R for D . Onomasticon and LXX often make this error.

Is this distinguished from K. 176:71? Bible and Onomasticon are not clear.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Mosera, teaching or his instruction" (87).

668. Makēda. Joshua 10:10; K. 126:22; L. 275:90.

Procopius 1021A includes this same location. Eusebius does not agree with the biblical information on location. He seems to locate it southeast at Kh Beit Maqdum off the main road. Some think the text should read "North." Tell es Safi is northwest at this distance and may be the ancient Makkedah. The Old Testament site is still unidentified with scholarly debate.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Maceda, burning or east or antecedent, that is prior" (95).

669. Madōn. Joshua 11:1; K. 126:26; L. 275:94.

Textual variant Modad (Greek) (cf. LXX Mōdōn).

Simple biblical notation.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Madon, contradiction or habitation" (95).
