Bezer (Place)

A city of refuge in Reuben’s land in the desert, east of the Jordan River (Deuteronomy 4:43; Joshua 20:8). It was later given to the Merari family of Levites (Joshua 21:36; 1 Chronicles 6:78). It is probably a different spelling of Bozrah in Jeremiah 48:24. According to the Moabite Stone, Bezer was among the cities rebuilt by King Mesha of Moab.
