Summary

Rabbith was a town in the territory of Issachar, mentioned only once in Scripture.

☩Location

Rabbith was a city in the tribe of Issachar, mentioned in Joshua 19:20. The name means 'multitude' and the Hebrew form includes the definite article (ha-rabbith). The town is probably represented today by Raba, a village in the southern part of the Gilboa range north of Ibzaq. Some scholars have sought to identify it with other sites, but its exact location remains uncertain.
