GEDEROTHAIM

Village in the Judean Shephelah (Jos 15:36) of unknown location. The Hebrew list contains 14 cities without Gederothaim (vv 33-36), while the Greek version reads, “Gederah and her sheepfolds” (v 36). Gederothaim probably reflects a later scribal error where the copyist accidentally made the term “sheepfold” into a 15th city.
