Bileam was a Manassite town given to the Levites, corresponding to the better-known Ibleam tradition. It is important because it preserves a variant name for an established northern settlement. First appears in 1 Chr 6:70.1
AI summary: Bileam matters because variant naming often reveals continuity across textual traditions. The place remains part of the northern Levitical and territorial network.1
