kir - i - ath hū´zoth , - hū´zōth : חצות קרית , ḳiryath ḥucōth , "city of streets"; Septuagint reads) πόλεις ἐπαύλεων , póleis epaúleōn , "city of villages," from which we may infer a reading חצרות , ḥăcērōth , for חצות , ḥucoyth ; the King James Version, Kirjathhuzoth ): A place to which, after their meeting, Balak and Balaam went together ( Numbers 22:39 ). They met at "the City of Moab" ( Numbers 22:36 ), which is probably identical with Kir Of Moab (which see); Kiriath-huzoth was probably therefore not far from that city. Some would identify it with Kiriathaim; some with Kerioth; as yet there is no certainty.
