Summary
Hadashah was a town in the lowland (Shephelah) region of Judah, possibly identifiable with the Adasa of Maccabean history.
☩Location
Hadashah was one of the towns of Judah in the maritime lowland, mentioned in the second group between Zenan and Migdal-gad. The name means "new" and the town may be identical with the Adasa mentioned by Josephus and in the Maccabean records, though that site appears to have been in the mountains of Ephraim near Ascalon rather than in southern Judah. According to the Mishna, it was anciently a small settlement containing only about fifty houses.
