Zif (Arabic: زيف) is a Palestinian village located 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) south of Hebron. The village is in the Hebron Governorate in the southern West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Zif had a population of 848 in 2007.[1] The primary health care facilities in the village itself are designated by the Ministry of Health as level 1 and at nearby Yatta as level 3.[2]
History
Zif had a Jewish population until at least the 4th-century, but it became Christian during the Byzantine period.[3]
Ottoman era
In 1838 Edward Robinson identified the modern town of Zif and its adjacent Tell Zif with the Biblical Ziph.[4]
Claude Reignier Conder (1875) located his tomb as being the "fine sepulchral monument" immediately south of the present Tell Zif.[5]
