יהושע, פרק י״ח, פסוק כ״ו

Tracing the ancient borders of the tribes of Israel involves identifying specific cities that bridge the biblical era with the present day. When mapping these historical locations to modern geography, scholars suggest a direct link for the ancient city of Motzah. It is believed that this biblical site is the exact location of the modern settlement known today as Motza [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
