MICHMETHAH. The word occurs only in Joshua 16:6; Joshua 17:7 , in each case with the article, therefore probably not a proper name. Of the meaning of the word we are entirely ignorant. It indicated a place or some natural feature on the boundary of Manasseh. An echo of the old name may perhaps be heard in el-Mukhneh , the plain which lies to the east of Nâbins.
