Lebaoth standard

Where is Lebaoth in the Bible?

Lebaoth was a town located in the Negev region of southern Judah, mentioned in Joshua 15:32 as part of the territorial allotment given to the tribe of Judah after the conquest of Canaan. The town's exact modern location is uncertain, though it was situated in the arid southern wilderness area of ancient Israel. In 1 Chronicles 4:31, the same place appears under a variant name, "Beth-biri," which scholars believe resulted from a clerical error in copying ancient manuscripts. While Lebaoth receives only brief mention in Scripture, its listing among Judah's cities reflects the comprehensive geographical documentation of Israel's tribal inheritance during the settlement period.
