Misrephoth-mayim marked the western limit of Joshua's pursuit of the northern Canaanite coalition after their defeat at the Waters of Merom (Joshua 11:8) and is later listed among territory still unconquered in Joshua's old age (Joshua 13:6). The name, usually rendered burnings of water, may refer to hot springs or to lime-burning kilns near the coast, and the site is generally placed somewhere near the Mediterranean north of Acco, though it has not been identified with confidence.
