It is primarily noted in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. The name Cozeba is thought to mean "deceitful" or "lying," which may reflect historical or cultural aspects associated with the site.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/genesis/38-5.htm">Genesis 38:5</a> :</b> Cozeba is indirectly referenced in the narrative of Judah and Tamar. The verse states, "Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him." Chezib is considered synonymous with Cozeba, indicating the location where Judah's wife gave birth to their son Shelah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/1_chronicles/4-22.htm">1 Chronicles 4:22</a> :</b> The genealogical records of the descendants of Judah mention Cozeba: "Jokim, the men of Cozeba, Joash, and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and Jashubi-Lehem. These records are from ancient times." This passage highlights the men of Cozeba as part of the lineage and historical records of Judah, suggesting its significance in the tribal heritage.<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b><br><br>Cozeba is identified with the ancient town of Chezib, located in the lowlands of Judah. Its precise location is not definitively known, but it is often associated with the ruins of Khirbet 'Ain Kezbeh, near the modern-day city of Beit Guvrin in Israel. The town's mention in genealogical records suggests it was a recognized settlement during the time of the biblical patriarchs.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The mention of Cozeba in the context of Judah's lineage underscores the importance of genealogical records in the Hebrew Scriptures. These records served to establish tribal identities, inheritance rights, and fulfillments of divine promises. Cozeba's association with the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended, highlights its role in the broader narrative of God's covenantal relationship with Israel.<br><br>The name's meaning, "deceitful," may also carry theological implications, reflecting the complex and often challenging history of the people of Israel. It serves as a reminder of the human propensity for sin and the need for divine grace and redemption, themes that are central to the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>While Cozeba is not a prominent location in biblical history, its inclusion in the genealogical records of Judah provides valuable insight into the tribal and familial structures of ancient Israel. Its mention in Scripture, though brief, contributes to the rich tapestry of biblical history and theology.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">COZEBA</span><p>ko-ze'-ba (<a href="/1_chronicles/4-22.htm">1 Chronicles 4:22</a>).<br><br>See <a href="../a/achzib.htm">ACHZIB</a>.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3578.htm"><span class="l">3578.
