What is "Im Alon Mutzav"?

1.

Radak: It is close to Alon, like "Hemah Im Beis Michah 1 " (18:3).

Our text of Radak says 'Beis Lechem'; this is a printing mistake. (PF)

2)

Why does it say "Im Alon Mutzav"?

1.

Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: It is the plain in which there were Matzevos 1 . Radak - a stone or something else was Mutzav (set up) there.

Matzevah can mean a monument by a grave, or an altar of one stone, which the Torah forbids. It seems that Rashi refers to the former. (PF)
