mḗ - ā´ra ( מערה , me‛ārāh ; omitted in the Septuagint): A town or district mentioned only in Joshua 13:4 , as belonging to the Zidonians. The name as it stands means "cave." If that is correct it may be represented by the modern village Mogheirı̄yeh , "little cave," not far from Sidon. Perhaps, however, we should find in the word the name of a Sidonian city, with the preposition מן , min , that has suffered change in transcription. Septuagint reads "from Gaza"; but Gaza is obviously too far to the South.
