Hastings

MINNITH marks the direction in which Jephthah pursued the defeated Ammonites from Aroer (Jg 11:33), i.e. 'Aroer which is in front of Rabbah' (Jos 13:25). The site has not been recovered. That indicated in the Onomasticon, 4 miles from Heshbon on the way to Philadelphia, seems too far to the south. The place appears to have been famous for the high quality of its wheat (Eze 27:17, cf. 2Ch 27:5). It must be added that in both passages there are strong reasons for suspecting the correctness of the text.
