Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Zered, as it is a specific Hebrew geographical name.

Usage: The term "Zered" refers to a brook or valley located in the southeastern region of the Dead Sea. It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' wilderness wanderings as a geographical marker.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Brook Zered is significant in the narrative of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. It marked the boundary between Moab and Edom and was a notable landmark during the Israelites' 40-year journey in the wilderness. The crossing of the Brook Zered symbolized the end of the older generation's wanderings and the beginning of a new chapter for the younger generation poised to enter Canaan.
