GE-HARASHIM*

Name for a richly wooded valley near Lod and Ono, settled by Joab from Judah’s tribe, whose posterity called the valley Ge-harashim, meaning “valley of craftsmen,” after their own trade (1 Chr 4:14, NLT mg). In the fifth century BC the area was resettled by people from Benjamin’s tribe (Neh 11:35, “valley of craftsmen“).
