En-tappuah

(En-Tapʹpu·ah) [Fountain (or, Spring) of the Apple (Tree)].

A spring by the city of Tappuah, used as a point of definition of the boundary between the inheritance of the tribe of Manasseh and that of Ephraim. (Jos 17:7) The name may have also been used for the city of Tappuah itself. (Jos 17:8) Some identify En-Tappuah with a spring near the city of Yasuf, to the S of which lies Tell Sheikh Abu Zarad, the suggested location of Tappuah.
