Zeboiim
Tsᵉbôʼîym (צְבֹאִים) is a proper noun referring to various place names in the Hebrew Bible. It literally means 'Gazelles,' taking the plural form of צְבִי (tsvi, 'gazelle') and is used as a designation for locations noted either for the presence or symbolism of gazelles. In biblical narrative, it appears as the name of one of the 'cities of the plain' associated with the patriarchal era, and as a valley referenced in later historical texts. The sense is geographical, denoting an identified place or region, rather than referring directly to the animals themselves.
