AKRABBIM*
A mountain pass or slope in southern Palestine between the southwestern tip of the Dead Sea and the wilderness of Zin. The pass (Nm 34:4; Jgs 1:36) of Mt Akrabbim served as part of the southern border of the land given to Judah’s tribe after the conquest of Canaan (Jos 15:3; KJB “Maaleh-acrabbim”). During the intertestamental period, Judas Maccabeus won an important victory over the Idumeans at this pass (1 Macc 5:3). Also called Scorpion Pass.
