Joppa
Joppa A town with a natural harbour north of Israel's border with
Egypt occupied by the tribe
Dan (Josh. 19: 46). It was useful for importing materials during the building of the Temple (2 Chr. 2: 16), but the town repeatedly changed hands; Simon Maccabaeus (142–134 BCE; 1 Macc. 13: 11) captured it, but it was later taken by the Romans, though added to the territory of
Herod the Great. It remained Jewish in character, and
Peter stayed in the city (Acts 9: 36–10: 23); but
Vespasian destroyed it in 68 CE during the Jewish War.
