Bozrah [1]
boz´ra ( בּצרה , bocrāh , "sheepfold"; Βοσόῤῥηα , Bosórrha , Βοσόρ , Bosór ):
(1) The capital of Edom, a city of great antiquity ( Genesis 36:33; 1 Chronicles 1:44; Isaiah 34:6; Isaiah 63:1; Jeremiah 49:13; Amos 1:12 ). It may be identical with Buṣeirah , which lies about 7 miles Southwest of Ṭufı̄leh , on the main road to Petra.
(2) A city in Moab mentioned in Jeremiah 48:24 . It is probably identical with Bezer , the city of refuge. It may be represented today by Ḳusūr Bashair , which towers lie some 15 miles Southeast of Dibon. In this case Beth-gamul would be identical with Jemail , 8 miles East of Dibon, and Beth-meon with Ma‛in , Southwest of Medebah.
