Almon Diblathaimah (Hebrew: עַלְמֹן דִּבְלָתָיְמָה) was one of the places the Israelites stopped at during the Exodus. By the name "Almon Diblathaimah" it is referred to only in Numbers 33:46 and 47, in a list of stopping-points during the Exodus.[1] It is usually considered the same place as Beth-diblathaim of Jeremiah 48:22, mentioned in the oracle against Moab.[2][3]
The suffix-he may be read as a locative, for "Almon toward-Diblathaim," in support of which is the Mesha Stele's ". ובת . דבלתן | ובת . בעלמען, and beth-Diblathan and beth-Baal-M'on" and Jeremiah's mention of "Beth-diblathaim . . . and beth-M'on". Baal M'on (Baalmon in some versions) is orthographically identical to the "in Almon" of MT Num. 33:46, and the Peshitta reads Baal M'on in Numbers 33, which suggests the reading "Baalmon toward-Diblathaim". The Talmud agrees that the final he is a locative suffix:[a]
For it was taught: Nehemiah says, "Every word which requires a lamed-prefix [i.e. 'toward'], the Bible [sometimes instead] suffixed a he"; and a teaching of the House of Ishmael, "As in the case of Elim-ah, Mahanaim-ah, Mitzraim-ah, Diblathaim-ah . . ."[4]
The Septuagint, however, does not transcribe a suffix-he: Γελμὼν Δεβλαθαίμ.
Etymologyedit
Etymologically, the name Beit-Diblathaim is said to refer to "The House of Dried Figs",[5] or else "The House of two fig-cakes."

^N.b. that according to y. Megillah 1:9, "Rabbi Simon and Rabbi Samuel b. Nahman would both say, 'The men of Jerusalem would write Jerusalem, Jerusalem-ah, without care. And likewise tzafon (north), tzafon-ah (northward), and teiman (south), teiman-ah (southward)'". R. Nehemiah also reports Jerusalemite practices (b. San. 30a) and may have been a resident. Documentary evidence, including from the Dead Sea Scrolls, confirms that the -ah suffix, while generally a locative in Biblical Hebrew, was sometimes applied to ordinary nominatives in the Second Temple period.
