Abstract

Tel Moẓa, identified with biblical Motzah mentioned in the Book of Joshua as part of the region belonging to the tribe of Benjamin (Josh 18:26), is located approximately 7 km northwest of ancient Jerusalem. The site is situated on the lower third of a slope descending southward and overlooks the ancient route connecting the Shephelah (the Judean foothills) to the west and the central hill country and Jerusalem to the east (Fig. 1). Naḥal Soreq and Naḥal Moẓa/Arza—both blessed with ample seasonal water flow—converge at the base of the slope and form a wide drainage basin extending south
