TAP'PUAH (apple-region), a name for two places. A city in the plain-country of Judah, Josh 15:34; probably the same as Beth-tappuah, now Teffuh, 4 miles north-north-west of Hebron. Ganneau suggested its identity with Artuf. A place on the border of Ephraim and Manasseh, Josh 16:8; Gen 17:8,- probably the same as En-tappuah. Josh 17:7. Around the city was a district called the land of Tappuah; the city belonged to Ephraim, and the land to Manasseh. Josh 17:8. It was apparently near the torrent Kanah, but has not been identified. Which of the two places above mentioned is referred to in Josh 12:17 is uncertain.
