    Me-jarkon is mentioned in Joshua 19:46 as one of the places within the territory allotted to the tribe of Dan. The verse lists Me-jarkon along with other towns, such as Rakkon and Joppa. The name Me-jarkon means "waters of the Jarkon," suggesting it was located near a river or stream called Jarkon.
