Hormah (meaning "broken rock", "banned", or "devoted to destruction"), also known by its Canaanite name Zephath (Tsfat צפת) in an unidentified city in the Hebrew Bible, mentioned as one of the cities captured by Joshua. Its location is unknown; some place it between Beer Sheba and Gaza, some between Beer Sheba and Arad and some in the east side of the Arava in the ruins of Sarta (under the town of Tafileh, Tufileh or Tafyleh, identified as biblical Tophel).
The city is mentioned in Book of Judges 1:17:
- "Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites their brothers and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed the city. Therefore it was called Hormah."
