A Jewish tradition in the Targum identifies Bahurim with Almon (), later called Almît, about 4 miles N.E. of Jerusalem, and a mile beyond Anathoth (Anâta). It has also been identified with Ras et Tmim, north-east of the Mount of Olives. Ras et Tmim is located at 1744.1333 (Palestine grid coordinates). However, it seems to be more likely that Bahurim was located at a place known as Barruka, located at 1750.1318 (Palestine grid coordinates) which disengages Ras et Tmim for the identification with Nob.
