Chephirah [1]
ke -fı̄´ra ( הכּפירה , ha - kephı̄rāh ; Codex Vaticanus, Καφειρά , Kapheirá (Josh 9); Codex Alexandrinus has Chepheirá , Codex Vaticanus has καὶ Φειρά , kaı́ Pheirá (Josh 18)): One of the cities of the Hivites who by guile made alliance with Israel ( Joshua 9:17 ). It was in the lot of Benjamin ( Joshua 18:26 ), and was reoccupied after the return from Babylon ( Ezra 2:25; Nehemiah 7:29 ). It is represented by the modern Kefı̄reh , to the Southwest of Gibeon, and North of Ḳaryat el - ‛Anab . It stands on high ground, with many ancient remains.
