While the origin of the Arabic name “Umm Ar-Rasas” remains a mystery to this day. It wasn’t until the seventeenth century that archaeologist Jemer Deran suggested that Umm Al Rasas is in fact Mephaath mentioned in the Book of Joshua. Inscriptions in the churches of Umm Ar-Rasas validated Deran’s theory and proved that it was in fact Mephaath, which the Bible mentioned was located in land of Moab, which was also considered a refuge for those guilty of accidental killing (Joshua 20).
