Concise Bible Dictionary:
A village about threescore furlongs from Jerusalem, that is, about 7 miles, to where the two disciples were traveling on the day of the resurrection, to whom the Lord made Himself known (Luke 24:13). Some identify it with ruins at Khamaseh, about 8 miles S.W. of Jerusalem; others with el Kubeibeh, about 7 miles N.W. of Jerusalem: but there are no data for its identification.
