Ituræa (ĭt-u-rç'ah), an enclosed region. A small province on the northwestern border of Palestine. It derived its name from "Jetur," a son of Ishmael. Genesis 25:15; 1 Chronicles 1:31; 1 Chronicles 5:19. This district is now called Jedur, and is about 17 miles from north to south by 20 from east to west.
