ZEBA'IM (the gazelles). In Ezr 2:57; Neh 7:59 we read of a person named "Pochereth of Zebaim," Some, and Grove among them, suppose this name to be identical with "Zeboim." Others translate "Zebaim " as the plural of the Hebrew word signifying "antelope" or "gazelle," and render it "Pochereth-zebaim," "snaring the antelopes," as the name of some mighty hunter.
