Japhlet
(Heb. Yaphlet', יִפְלֵט, deliverer; Sept. Ι᾿αφαλήτ), a son of Heber and great-grandson of Asher; several of his sons are also named (1Ch_7:32-33). B.C. between 1856 and 1658. It appears to have been a branch of his descendants (Japhaletites, יִפְלֵטַי, Heb. Yaphleti', Sept. Ι᾿αφλητί, Vulg. Jephleti, Auth.Version Japhleti) that are mentioned in Jos_16:3 as having settled along the border between Ephraim and Dan, near (north of) the present Jaffa road, apparently east of Beth-horon, possibly at the present Beit Unia. Others, however, regard the name in this locality as a trace of one of the petty tribes of aboriginal Canaanites (compare the Archite, Archi, in the verse preceding, and in 2Sa_15:32; the Ophnite, Ophni, Jos_18:24).
