kir-i-ath hū?zoth, -hū?zōth: חצות קרית, ḳiryath ḥucōth, ?city of streets?; Septuagint reads) πόλεις ἐπαύλεων, póleis epaúleōn, ?city of villages,? from which we may infer a reading חצרות, ḥăcērōth, for חצות, ḥucoyth; the King James Version, Kirjathhuzoth): A place to which, after their meeting, Balak and Balaam went together (Num_22:39). They met at ?the City of Moab? (Num_22:36), which is probably identical with KIR OF MOAB (which see); Kiriath-huzoth was probably therefore not far from that city. Some would identify it with Kiriathaim; some with Kerioth; as yet there is no certainty.
