Subjects in this Topic:

jok´mḗ-am (יקמעם, yoḳme‛ām): A town in Mt. Ephraim assigned to the Kohathite Levites (), named along with Gezer and Beth-horon. Its place is taken by Kibzaim in (in Septuagint here the name is omitted). It is mentioned again in (the King James Version wrongly “Jokneam”), where it seems to indicate some position to the East of Ephraim. So far no identification is possible.
