Ebez (Hebrew: אֶבֶץ meaning "tin", or "white")[4] also rendered Abez, was a town in the allotment of the tribe of Issachar, at the north of the Jezreel Valley, or plain of Esdraelon.[5] F. R. and C. R. Conder (1879), believed that it was probably the ruins of el-Beida, but William Robertson Smith (1899) expressed doubt about this identification.[6][7] According to the 1915 International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915), the location is not known.[8] It is mentioned only in Joshua 19:20, where various manuscripts of the Septuagint render it as Rebes (Ancient Greek: Ῥεβὲς), Aeme, or Aemis.[9] It is mentioned on the façade of the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu as Apijaa.[1][2][3]
