Gederothaim

Gederothaim ("two sheepfolds") was a Shephelah town in Judah's tribal inheritance named at the end of the first lowland district catalog: "And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages" (Joshua 15:36). Some Hebrew manuscripts and the Septuagint read "Gederah and its sheepfolds" rather than listing Gederothaim as a separate site — suggesting the two names may refer to the same settlement with Gederothaim being a dual form. The town appears only in this single boundary list and lay in the same Shephelah cluster as Gederah.
