Precise Coordinates Notes | Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary (1992) (Mizpah (place)): "Kerak and Rujm el-Meshrefeh southwest of Madaba;" this place matches the name, is on a precipice, and is on a line from Madaba to Kerak; however, Rujm el Meshrefeh is "west-southwest of Madaba" (Believer’s Bible Commentary, 2nd Edition (2016)), while this point is south-southwest of Madaba, and there are no excavations here. I don’t have high confidence that this is the correct point, nor am I able to find the original source for identifying Rujm el Meshrefeh with Mizpeh |
