HAPHARIM hăf’ ə rā’ əm (חֲפָרַ֥יִם; in KJV HAPHRAIM, hăf rā em, two pits). A town on the frontier of Issachar, mentioned with Shunem and Anaharath (Josh 19:19). Shishak mentions it in his list of towns in Pal. that he conquered (c. 918 b.c.). Some identify it with Khirbet el-Farriyeh, a little S of Carmel, and others with et-Taiyibeh, c. 10 m. NW of Bethlehem.
