A Levitical city in the tribe of Ephraim allotted to the Kohathite branch of the Levites
EphraimKibzaim 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.
