The kibbutz itself was established on 7 July 1943, as one of the "three lookouts" of the northern Negev, and was initially named Tel HaTzofim (lit. Scout's Hill). It was later renamed Revivim[definition needed] by Berl Katznelson after the magazine edited by Yosef Haim Brenner (for whom Givat Brenner was named), and its name is also taken from the Bible, Psalm 65:11: "You (Lord) ... level its ridges, you soften it with showers."[2]

1948 war

During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Revivim fell behind Egyptian lines for several months. Members of the kibbutz lived in underground dugouts, and received food supplies by air and convoys that ran the Egyptian battle lines. Thirty members of the kibbutz survived the war, while eight were killed in raids and pitched battles with Egyptian forces.[3]
