Edh

Hebrew name of an altar built in God’s honor by the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh (Jos 22:10, 34, NLT mg) when these tribes took possession of Gilead. The name means “witness.” The Hebrew Masoretic Text and the Greek Septuagint do not contain the word, but it has the authority of a few ancient manuscripts.
