Context: Tsophim is a place name found in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Numbers. It is mentioned in Numbers 23:14, where Balaam is taken by Balak to the field of Zophim on the top of Pisgah to observe the Israelites and pronounce a curse upon them. The name Tsophim, meaning "Watchers" or "Lookout," suggests a location that provides a vantage point, fitting its description as a place from which Balaam could view the encampment of Israel. The field of Zophim is associated with the region of Moab, near the top of Pisgah, which is part of the Abarim mountain range. This location is significant in the narrative as it is one of the places where Balaam, despite Balak's intentions, ends up blessing Israel instead of cursing them.
