Chephirah

Also spelled Kephirah, Kfira, Kephira, and Kefirah, Chephirah is an Old Testament, Biblical place name, mentioned in the Book of Joshua. It likely derives from the Hebrew kephir meaning "village" and "young lion", and is sometimes seen as a feminine form of Kfir. It might be worth noting however, that the name is also close to Hebrew word for "heresy".

The current-day location of the town is in Palestine, known as Khirbet el-Kafira.

Pronounced keh-FEAR-ah.
