dothan(古代城市)
位於shechem北方,據希布倫以北大約100公裏,雅各(舊約中的人物)的家。因為 Eusebius而著名,eusebius將它坐落於samaria(公元前9世紀建造在巴勒斯坦中心,是以色列北希伯來王國的首都,現址為約旦西北方)。現在它叫TELL-DOTHAN,在 Jezreel平原的北方,Gilboa的山中。
Dothan was a city located at north of Shechem, and about 100 km north of Hebron, house of Jacob. It was known to Eusebius, who places it 12 miles to the north of Sebaste (Samaria); and here it has been discovered in our own times. It is identified with the modern Tell-Dothan, on the south side of the plain of Jezreel, among the hills of Gilboa.
It is first mentioned (Genesis 37:17) in connection with the history of Joseph. Here, at the suggestion of Judah, the brothers sold him to the Ishmaelite merchants (Gen. 37:17). It later appears as the residence of Elisha (2 Kings 6:13) and the scene of a remarkable vision of chariots and horses of fire surrounding the mountain on which the city stood.
The modern Israeli settlement of Mevo Dotan's name, approach to Dothan, is derived from its nearby location. In addition, its mention in Genesis was the basis for the naming of Dothan, Alabama.

Meron
(Hebrew: ?, also Miron) is a moshav (cooperative village) in the Upper Galilee in northern Israel near Safed, and within municipal jurisdiction of the Merom HaGalil Regional Council. It was founded in 1949 on the site of an ancient town of the same name by Orthodox soldiers discharged after the Israeli War of Independence. Among the ties between the modern and ancient Meron is the ancient synagogue of Meron, which dates to the Second Temple period (515 BCE – 70 CE).
