bō´kim (הבּכי×, ha-boÌ„khı̄mÌŒ: A place on the mountain West of Gilgal said to have been so named (literally “the weepersâ€) because Israel wept there at the remonstrance of the angel (, ). No name resembling this has been discovered. Given on the occasion mentioned, it may not have endured. Many, following Septuagint, identify it with Bethel.
