Strong's Lexicon Qibtsayim: Kibzaim Original Word: קִבְצַיִם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קָבַץ (qavats), meaning "to gather" or "to collect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Kibzaim, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of Levitical cities can be related to Greek terms for cities or places of gathering, such as πόλις (polis) for city. Usage: Kibzaim is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a Levitical city within the territory of the tribe of Ephraim. The name itself suggests a place of gathering or collection, possibly indicating its role as a communal or central location for the Levites. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties and service in the Tabernacle and later the Temple. They were not given a specific territory like the other tribes but were instead allocated cities within the territories of other tribes. Kibzaim, as a Levitical city, would have been a center for religious instruction and worship, serving the surrounding community and supporting the spiritual life of the nation.
