Remeth
(Heb. id. , height; Sept. v. r. ), a city in the territory of Issachar (Jos 19:21), called, as it seems, RAMOTH SEE RAMOTH (q.v.) in 1Ch 6:73. As the place is named in the first of the above passages next to En-gannim (Jenin), the site is possibly represented by a tell with ruins south of Zerin (Jezreel) between Sundela and Mukeibileh. Dr. Porter (in Kitto’s Cyclop. s.v.) suggests that the place may be identical with the ruined fortress and village called Wezar, perched upon the northern rocky face of Mt. Gilboa (Robinson, Researches, 3:157, 160; new ed. 3, 339).

Remeth (2)
is regarded by Tristram and Conder as the present er-Rameh, five and a half miles north-west of Sebustieh, “a conspicuous village on a hilly knoll above the small plain, with a high central house. It is of moderate size, with olives below. The sides of the hill are steep” (Memoirs to the Ordnance Survey, 2:154).

Remeth
remeth, remeth (, remeth; Codex Vaticanus , Rhemmas; Codex Alexandrinus , Rhamath): A place in the territory of Issachar named with En-gannim (Jos 19:21). It is probably identical with Ramoth of 1Ch 6:73, and Jarmuth of Jos 21:29. It is represented today by the village er-Rameh, situated on a hill which rises abruptly from the green plain about 11 miles Southwest of Jenn (Engannim). While the southern boundary of Issachar was, roughly, the southern edge of the plain of Esdraelon, the possessions of the tribes seem sometimes to have overlapped. See JARMUTH; RAMOTH.
