Jiphthahel:

jif'-tha-el.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Jiphthahel:

(which God opens) The valley of, a valley which served as one of the landmarks for the boundary of both Zebulun (Joshua 19:14) and Asher (Joshua 19:27). Dr. Robinson suggests that Jiphthah‐el was identical with Jotapata, and that they survive in the modern Jefat, a village in the mountains of Galilee, halfway between the Bay of Accre and the Lake of Gennesareth.

Iphtah-El:

if'-ta-el (yiphtach-'el; the King James Version Jiphtah-el): The valley of Iphtah-el lay on the North border of Zebulun (Jos 19:14,27). Northwest of the plain of el-Battauf stands a steep hill, connected only by a low saddle with the hills on the North. The name Tell Jefat suggests the Jotapata of Josephus (BJ, III, vi, i; vii, i, etc.), and the place answers well to his description. It probably corresponds to the ancient Iphtah-el. In that case the valley is most probably that which begins at Tell Jefat, passes round the South of Jebel Kaukab, and, as Wady ‘Abellin, opens on the plain of Acre.
