Word Overview
The name Jehud, or ye.hud, is a Hebrew place name meaning "beauty." It appears only once in the Bible, listed among the towns allotted to the tribe of Dan in Joshua 19:45.
Geographically, this town was situated between Baalath and Bene-berak, roughly eight miles east of Joppa. The brief mention serves primarily as a marker within the detailed land distribution records rather than carrying a distinct narrative role.
