About this place
Ayyah is named only in 1 Chronicles 7:28, in the list of the possessions of Ephraim's descendants: “Their possessions and settlements were Bethel and its towns, and eastward Naaran, and westward Gezer with its towns; Shechem also and its towns, to Azzah and its towns”. The WEB and ASV spell the name Azzah and the KJV reads Gaza, while the BSB reads Ayyah. The towns named with it lie in or on the borders of Ephraim's land (Joshua 16:1–10; Joshua 20:7), far from the Philistine city of Gaza on the southern coast, so it is taken to be a different town. Its site is unknown.
