Taybeh
Taybeh ((アラビア語:الطيبة)) is a Palestinian village in the West Bank, 15 kilometers northeast of Jerusalem〔(In search of the West Bank’s elusive Sufi Trail, Jerusalem Post )〕 and 12 kilometers northeast of Ramallah in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, 850 meters above sea level. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Taybeh had a population of 1,452 in 2007.〔(2007 PCBS Census ). Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. p.114.〕 It is the last all-Christian community in the West Bank.
==Etymology==
Taybeh has been identified as the site of Ophrah, mentioned in the Bible (Book of Joshua 18:23) as a town of Benjamin, which was later renamed Ephraim.〔(Palestinians raise a glass at West Bank Oktoberfest, Jerusalem Post )〕 However the word "Ophrah" was close in sound to "afrit" ((アラビア語:عفريت)) meaning "demon" in Arabic. Under Saladin, the name was changed to "Taybeh", "The goodly".〔Palmer, 1881, (p.245 )〕
According to local tradition, Saladin met a delegation of Aphram inhabitants during his wars against Crusaders. Impressed by the hospitality of the locals, he named the village Taybeh, or “goodly” in Arabic.〔(CNEWA )〕 Another version of the story is that he was charmed by their goodness and the beauty of their faces, ordering the village to be renamed ''Tayyibat al-Isem'' (Beautiful of name) instead of what sounded like ''Afra'' (full of dust).
