Strong's Lexicon Ziphron: Ziphron Original Word: זִפְרֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root צָפַר (tsaphar), which means "to look out" or "to watch." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ziphron, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, Greek terms related to boundaries or borders, such as ὅριον (horion), meaning "boundary" or "limit," may conceptually relate to the context in which Ziphron is mentioned. Usage: Ziphron is a place name mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the context of defining the northern boundary of the land allotted to the Israelites. The name itself suggests a location that serves as a lookout or watch point, possibly indicating its geographical features or strategic importance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, boundary markers were crucial for defining territories and maintaining peace between neighboring tribes and nations. Ziphron, as a boundary marker, would have been significant in the Israelites' understanding of the land promised to them by God. The precise location of Ziphron is not known today, but it was part of the northern border of the land of Canaan as described in the biblical text.
