Joshua 19:46
And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho. (Joshua 19:46)
Japho.
Signifying “beauty.” The principal port town in all Judea, later called Joppa. The modern name is Jaffa, which is contiguous with the modern Jewish harbor of Tel-Aviv. It is not definitely stated that Japho was a part of the territory of Dan. The statement seems to imply that the border came up before the city but did not include it.
