JUTAH or JUTTAH (in Jos_15:55 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] has Juttah, which is read in Jos_21:16 by both AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] ).A town of Judah (Jos_15:55) given to the priests as a city of refuge for the manslayer (Jos_21:16). It has been left out of the catalogue of cities of refuge in 1Ch_6:59, but QPB adds note: Insert, Juttah with her pasture grounds. It has been suggested that Jutah was the residence of Zacharias and Elisabeth, and the birthplace of John the Baptist (Luk_1:39 a city of Judah). Jutah is probably the modern village of Yuttâ, standing high on a ridge 16 miles from Beit Jibrîn (Eleutheropolis).
