MOLADAH

One of the cities belonging to Judah’s tribe (Jos 15:26), later assigned to Simeon (Jos 19:2; 1 Chr 4:28). The people of Judah resettled that area after the exile (Neh 11:26).

Some consider Moladah identical to Malatha, which became an Idumean fortress occupied by the Edomites (Josephus’s Antiquities 18.6.2). Others place it by Jattir, at modern Khureibet el-Waten, as do Jerome and Eusebius. The evidence is, however, too obscure to make certain identification.
