Ne'i-el. (moved by God). A place, which formed one of the landmarks of the boundary, of the tribe of Asher. In Joshua 19:27 only. It occurs between Jiphthahel and Cabul.
If the former of these be identified with Jefat, and the latter with Kabul, eight or nine miles east-southeast of Akka, then Neiel may possibly be represented by Mi'ar, a village conspicuously placed on a lofty mountain brow, just halfway between the two.
