Kibzaim

Kibzaim appears once in Scripture as one of four Levitical cities given by the tribe of Ephraim to the Kohathite branch of the Levites: "And Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs, And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Beth-horon with her suburbs; four cities" (Joshua 21:21-22). The parallel list at 1 Chronicles 6:68 names Jokmeam in place of Kibzaim, reflecting either a textual variant or a renaming of the site. The town's exact location in central Ephraim remains unidentified by archaeology, though it lay somewhere on the central highland ridge.
