Bileam (place name: Levitical town in Manasseh, same as Ibleam)
This geographical name designates a Levitical city in the territory of Manasseh, appearing in 1 Chronicles 6:70. It is identical to Ibleam mentioned in Joshua 17:11 and other passages, with the variant spelling likely reflecting dialectal pronunciation. Modern scholarship identifies it with Khirbet Belʿame, north of modern Nablus.
