Bezer [1]
bē´zẽr ( בּצר , becer ; Βόσορ , Bósor , "strong"):
(1) A city of refuge, set apart by Moses for the Reubenites and located in the "plain country" (or table-land, Mı̄shōr ) East of the Jordan, later assigned to this tribe by Joshua ( Deuteronomy 4:43; Joshua 20:8 ). The same city was assigned by lot as place of residence to the children of Merari of the Levite tribe ( Joshua 21:36; 1 Chronicles 6:63 , 1 Chronicles 6:78 ). Driver, HDB , suggests the identity of Bezer with Bozrah (Septuagint, Bosor) ( Jeremiah 48:24 ). Besheir has been suggested as the present site. According to the manuscript it was forti fied by Mesha.
(2) A son of Zophah of the house of Asher ( 1 Chronicles 7:37 ).
