Ummah

UMMAH (ŭm'a, Heb. ‘ummâh, association). One of the cities belonging to the tribe of Asher (Josh.19.30). Unless it is to be identified with the modern “Akka,” which is at best a mere guess, no other identification is known.

UMMAH um’ ə (עֻמָ֥ה). An Asherite city (Josh 19:30); not identified. Some Gr. MSS have Acco, which came to be known as Ptolemais; and this reading has been adopted by many scholars.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915)

One of the cities allotted to the tribe of Asher (Jos 19:30). By a slight emendation of the text it would read Acco, the name of the place subsequently known as Ptolemais, the modern `Akka. This emendation is generally adopted by scholars, although it is at best a conjecture. No other identification is yet possible.
