Beth Hoglah

BETH HOGLAH (bĕth' hŏg'la, house of a partridge). A place belonging to Benjamin, lying between Jericho and the Jordan (Josh.15.6; Josh.18.19, Josh.18.21). It is now identified with Ain Hajlah.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915)

Mentioned in Jos 15:6; 18:19, identified with Ain Haijab ("partridge spring") lying between Jericho and the Jordan, where in 1874 there was still a ruined Greek monastery called Kasr Hajlah, dating from the 12th century. The ruins are now destroyed. In Jos 15:5; 18:19 it is said to be at the mouth of the Jordan on a Tongue (Lisan) of the Salt Sea. But it is now several miles inland, probably because the Jordan has silt edition up a delta to that extent.
