Field Of Zophim
From BibleEncyclopedia.Net
Field of watchers, a place in Moab on the range of Pisgah (Numbers 23:14). To this place Balak brought Balaam, that he might from thence curse the children of Israel. Balaam could only speak the word of the Lord, and that was blessing. It is the modern Tal'at-es-Safa. (See Pisgah.)
zō´fim, (שׂדה צפים, sedhēh cōphīm; εἰς ἀγροῦ σκοπιάν, eis agroú skopián):
The place on the top of Pisgah to which Balak took Balaam, whence only a part of the host of Israel could be seen (Num_23:14). Perhaps we should simply translate “field of watchers.” Conder draws attention to the name Tal‛at es-Ṣufa attached to an ascent leading up to the ridge of Nebā from the North Here possibly is a survival of the old name.
For Ramathaim-zophim see Ramah.
