Smith's Bible Dictionary
Zophim
(watchers), The field of, a spot on or near the top of Pisgah, from which Balaam had his second view of the encampment of Isr'l. (Numbers 23:14) The position of the field of Zophim is not defined. Possibly it is the same place which later in the history is mentioned as Mizpah-moab.
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Zophim, Field of
Field of watchers, a place in Moab on the range of Pisgah (Numbers 23:14). To this place Balak brought Balaam, that he might from thence curse the children of Israel. Balaam could only speak the word of the Lord, and that was blessing. It is the modern Tal'at-es-Safa. (See PISGAH.)
