Juttah

Juttah (Hebrew: יוטה‎) was a town in ancient Israel. It is identified with modern-day Yattah, which is located on a hill about 10 km south of Hebron in Palestine.

Juttah was a Levitical city in the mountains or hill-country of Judah (Joshua 15:55; 21:16). It is believed to have been the home of Zechariah and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist. (Luke 1:39)
