And Humtah, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with their villages:
Humtah, х ChumTaah (H2547), place of lizards; Septuagint, Euma; Alexandrian, Chammata] - not known.
Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron - (see the note at Joshua 14:15.)
Zior, х Tsiy`or (H6730), smallness; Septuagint, Sooraith; Alexandrian, Sioor]. Eusebius and Jerome notice it ('Onomast.,' art. 'Sioor') as lying between AElia (Jerusalem) and Eleutheropolls (Beit-Jibrin). It may, probably be represented by Sa'ir (Robinson's 'Biblical Researches,' second appendix, Arabic Lists, 4:, el-Khulil, Hebron), a village about 6 miles north of Hebron, on the road to Tekuah. This group clustered round Hebron.
