Zavdiel
Zavdiel (, eng. Gift of God) is a religious moshav in southern Israel. "Name derives from a passage in Nehemiah (11:14)", where it's the name of a priest returning from Babel. Located in Hevel Lakhish near Kiryat Gat, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shafir Regional Council. In 2006, it had a population of 413.
The village was established in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen on lands which had formerly belonged to the depopulated Arab village of Hatta.
