Abstract

The article deals with three related issues. We first revisit the question of identification of biblical Mozah and assert that it cannot be placed at Tel Moza (Qaluniya); rather, it should be located in one of the Iron Age sites further to the north, which are related to the Gibeon plateau. We then suggest identifying Tel Moza (Qaluniya) with biblical Nephtoah. Finally we discuss the long-term phenomenon of royal estates in the Jerusalem highlands.

Abstract

Cet article traite trois sujets : nous revisitons tout d’abord la question de l’identification de la Mozah biblique et affirmons qu’elle ne peut être placée à Tel Moza (Qaluniya) ; au contraire, il faudrait la situer sur un des sites de l’âge du Fer plus au nord, qui sont reliés au plateau de Gibeon. Nous suggérons alors d’identifier Tel Moza (Qaluniya) avec la Nephtoah biblique. Nous discutons enfin le phénomène de longue durée des domaines royaux des régions montagneuses de Jérusalem.
