Adami-nekeb

Adami-nekeb ("Adami of the pass") was a point on the southern boundary of Naphtali's tribal inheritance in lower Galilee. Joshua 19:33 traces the line: "from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum." The name preserves the memory of a narrow mountain pass — "nekeb" means a hole or pass — that the surveyors used as a clear topographical anchor for the boundary line. The site is generally identified with Khirbet ed-Damiyeh near the modern village of Khirbet et-Tell on the route between Mount Tabor and the Sea of Galilee, where a natural pass through the hills made an ideal boundary marker.
