| Zebo'im. (gazelles). One of the five cities of the "plain" or circle of Jordan. It is mentioned in Gen 10:19; Gen 14:2; Gen 14:8; Gen 29:23; Hosea 11:8, in each, of which passages, it is either coupled with Admah or placed next it in the lists -- perhaps represented by Talaa Sebaan, a name attached to extensive ruins on the high ground between the Dead Sea and Kerak. In Genesis 14:2; Gen 14:8, the name is given more correctly, in the Authorized Version, as Zeboiim . Smith's Bible Dictionary or |
