Gath-hepher

wine-press of the well, a town of Lower Galilee, about 5 miles from Nazareth; the birthplace of Jonah (2Kings 14:25); the same as Gittah-hepher (Josh 19:13 ). It has been identified with the modern el-Meshed, a village on the top of a rocky hill. Here the supposed tomb of Jonah, Neby Yunas, is still pointed out.
