About

Also Called	Khirbet ez Zeife, Mezudat Hatirah
Latitude, Longitude	30.996770, 34.981880
Palestine 1928 Grid Coordinates (?)	148193/045095
Type	settlement
Point Precision	100 m
Coordinates Sources	Archaeological Survey of Israel Cohen, Iron Age Fortresses in the Central Negev (1979): page 67 Digital Archaeological Atlas of the Holy Land
General Location Notes	Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible (2000) (Ziph), Zondervan Atlas of the Bible (2010) (Ziph (Negev)), Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary (1992) (Ziph (place)), Rainey, Wine from the Royal Vineyards (1982) (via Wikipedia): 148/047 Zondervan Encyclopedia of the Bible (2010) (Ziph (place)): “19 miles southeast of Beersheba and 10 miles southeast of Aroer” McKinny, Southern Boundary Markers of Canaan/Judah (2015) shows the location
Precise Coordinates Notes	McKinny, Historical Geography of the Administrative Division of Judah (2014) (page 125-126) suggests that this site may be identical with Mezad Refed or Mezudat Hatirah; since the latter is at the appropriate coordinates, I’m using it here; if you georeference the second Musil Arabia Petraea map (Musil, Arabia Petraea Map (1907) or a smaller version at Wikimedia Commons) on which "ez Zejfe" appears, you end up with a point close to here (30.990,34.979) as well (where the line intersection to the northeast is 31.0,35.0)
