Neiel: A Landmark on the Boundary of the Tribe of Asher

Jos 19:27

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Neiel:

(moved by God) a place which formed one of the landmarks of the boundary of the tribe of Asher. Joshua 19:27 only. It occurs between Jiphthahel and Cabul. If the former of these be identified with Jefat, and the latter with Kabul, eight or nine miles east‐southeast of Akka, then Neiel may possibly be represented by Mi'ar, a village conspicuously placed on a lofty mountain brow, just halfway between the two.
