Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root word זָפַר (zafar), which is not explicitly defined in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of "fragrance" or "scent." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Ziphron, as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Ziphron is used as a geographical name in the Hebrew Bible. It is mentioned in the context of defining the northern boundary of the land allotted to the Israelites. Context: • Ziphron is mentioned in the Book of Numbers as part of the description of the northern boundary of the land of Canaan, which was to be inherited by the Israelites. In Numbers 34:9 (BSB), it is stated: "Then the border will extend to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north." • The exact location of Ziphron is not definitively known today, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. It is presumed to be a landmark or a town situated in the northern region of ancient Canaan. • The mention of Ziphron in the biblical text serves to delineate the territorial limits of the Promised Land, emphasizing the divine promise and the specific inheritance given to the tribes of Israel. • The name itself, suggesting "fragrance," may imply a place of pleasantness or beauty, although this is speculative given the lack of additional biblical or archaeological evidence.
