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.
