A city in Syria. The king of Assyria took people from this place and settled them in Samaria after he had carried the Israelites away captive (II Kings 17:24; 19:13). The "gods of Sepharvaim" are mentioned in II Kings 17:31.

Meta. A dual state of consciousness--partly good, partly evil (dual meditations, two inscriptions).
