What is Naarath?
NA'ARATH
(girl, handmaid), a town of Ephraim, Josh 16:7; probably in the Jordan valley, above Jericho. Eusebius speaks of it as Oorath, a village 5 miles from Jericho, and Josephus mentions that Herod drew off part of the waters from the village of Neara to water the palm trees he had planted. Conder, therefore, suggests that the site of Naarath is to be found in el 'Aujeh, near Jericho, where are a ruin and remains of an ancient aqueduct.
