Etymology

Its name is taken from one of the 12 stones in the Hoshen, the sacred breastplate worn by a Jewish high priest, mentioned in Exodus 28:18.[1] Nearby Shoham, Bareket, Leshem and Ahlama (the former name of Beit Arif) were also named after the Hoshen stones.

History

The village was established by immigrants from Morocco in 1949 on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Rantiya.[2]
