Hepher [1]

This place Trelawney Saunders (Map of the O.T.) identifies with Khurbet Kafir, which the Ordnance Map lays down eight miles northwest of Hebron (and three miles east of Um-Burj, the neighborhood which we had conjecturally assigned), and the Memoirs describe (3:355) as "foundations and heaps of stones. It has the appearance of an old site, and an ancient road passes it."
