Josh. xv. 42.LIBNAH, a City in the Tribe of Judah, in the Southern Part of this Tribe. A Cession was made of it to the Priests, for their Habitation, and it was declared a City of Refuge. 1 Chr. vi. 55, 57.Eusebius and Saint Jerom say, that it was in the Canton of Eleutheropolis. It is the same as Libna or Lebna, in the Neighbourhood whereof (between Rimmon-Parez and Rissah) the Israelites encamped, when they were upon their Journey through the Numb. xxxii. 20.Wilderness.
