MISREPHOTH-MAIM. From the Waters of Merom the defeated Canaanites fled to Great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim ( Joshua 11:8 ). It marks the S. boundary of the Zidonians, who had not been driven out by Joshua ( Joshua 13:6 ). The Ladder of Tyre formed a natural limit to the territory of the Zidonians. On the slope of Ras en-Naqûrah , the most southerly of the promontories forming the ‘Ladder,’ is found a site called Musheirifeh , which Thomson ( LB [Note: B The Land and the Book.] ) with great probability identifies with Misrephoth-maim.
