CAPHAR, in Hebrew signifies a Field or Village; for which reason we find it often in conjunction with another word; which is the proper name of the Field or Village. We meet with the word Caphar annexed sometimes to the name of a City; because it often happens, that a Village is augmented, and becomes a City.
