What are the Akrabbim?
        AKRAB'BIM
        (scorpions), a range of hills on the southern boundary of Judah, Num 34:4 ; Josh 15:3, and on the border of the territory of the Amorites. Jud 1:36. The "ascent of" and the "going up to" Akrabbim is the famous "Scorpion Pass," where the route from Petra to Hebron passes out of the Ghur, or Wady, el-Fikreh. At the upper end of this winding valley, 10 miles from Maderah, is a wild ascent now called Nahh Kareb, which is regarded as the ancient Akrabbim or "Scorpion Pass." Scorpions still abound in the region. It was also called Maalehacrabbim. Josh 15:3.
