Usage: The term "Sephar" is used in the context of a geographical location, specifically as a mountain or region. Context: Sephar is mentioned in the Bible as a location associated with the descendants of Joktan. In Genesis 10:30, it is described as a mountainous region: "Their territory extended from Mesha to Sephar, in the eastern hill country." This suggests that Sephar was a significant landmark or boundary in the ancient world, possibly located in the Arabian Peninsula. The exact identification of Sephar remains uncertain, but it is traditionally considered to be in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, possibly linked to the ancient trading routes or settlements in that region.
