Usage: Mikmethath is a proper noun used to denote a specific geographical location in the biblical narrative. It is mentioned in the context of territorial boundaries. Context: Mikmethath is a location referenced in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Joshua. It is described as a boundary point in the delineation of tribal territories. In Joshua 16:6, Mikmethath is mentioned as part of the border of the tribe of Ephraim: "Then the border went out westward to Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east to Janoah."
