Kibzaim is a town in the tribe of Ephraim, set apart with its surrounding pasturelands as one of the Levitical cities given to the descendants of Kohath.

A Levitical City in Ephraim

The town appears in the closing tally of the Kohathite allotment in Ephraim: "and Kibzaim with its suburbs, and Beth-horon with its suburbs; four cities" (Jos 21:22). The verse pairs Kibzaim with Beth-horon and counts both among the four Ephraimite towns ceded to the Kohathite Levites for residence and pasture.
