Bethphage

BETH'PHAGE (beth'fa-ji; Aram. "House of unripe figs").

On the Mount of Olives, and on the way from Jerusalem to Jericho, close to Bethany. A Sabbath day's journey from Jerusalem (Mt 21:1; Mk 11:1; Lk 19:29).

It is not mentioned once in the OT, though frequently in the Talmud.

No trace of it now remains.

Now called Abu Dis.
