ZOPHIM . The ‘field of Zophim’ was one of the spots to which Balak took Balaam to view Israel, Numbers 23:14 (JE [Note: Jewish Encyclopedia.] ). It is questionable whether we have here a proper name; the Heb. expression means literally field of viewers or lookers out.’ Such ‘places of watching’ were naturally situated frequently on the tops of hills. On the impossible combination Rama-thaim-zophim of 1 Samuel 1:1 see Ramah, 4 .
