nē´a ( הנּעה , ha - nē‛āh , "the neah"; Ἀννούα , Annouá ): A town in the lot of Zebulun ( Joshua 19:13 ), mentioned along with Gath-hepher and Rimmon. It is possibly identical with "Neiel" (Joshua 19:27 ). No name resembling either of these has yet been recovered, although the district in which the place must be sought is pretty definitely indicated. It may probably have lain to the North of Rimmon (Rummāneh ), about 4 miles Northeast of Ṣeffūriyeh .
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) was edited by James Orr, John Nuelsen, Edgar Mullins, Morris Evans, and Melvin Grove Kyle and was published complete in 1939. This web site includes the complete text.
WikipediaThe ISBE is a classic Bible reference compiled from nearly 10,000 entries written by over 200 different Bible scholars and teachers. In addition to the encyclopedia articles, all of the major words of the Bible are represented and defined.
The historical, cultural, and linguistic information in the ISBE can be of great value in Bible study and research.
But as with any writings of men, the careful student of the Bible must always compare them with Scripture. As you use this helpful study resource, remember that only God's word is pure.
