Ziphron
[some Ziph’ron] (Heb. Ziphron’, , fragrance [Gesen.] or beautiful top [Frst]; Sept. v.r. ; Vulg. Zephrona, both from the directive of the Heb.), a place on the northern boundary of the Promised Land, and consequently also of Naphtali (Num 34:9, where it is mentioned between Zedad and Hazar-enan; possibly the present Kaukaba, a village high. up the western slope of Wady et-Teim (Robinson, Laier Res. p. 385). In the parallel passage (Eze 47:16), Hazar- hattieon (q.v.) occurs in a similar connection. According to Jerome (ad loc. Ezech.), it was the Zephyrium Ciliciae (Mannert,VII, 2, 66,76). But this is too far away. Wetzstein thinks it is the extensive river Zifran, fourteen hours north-east of Damascus (Reisebericht ber Hauran, p. 88); but this is equally out of the question (comp. Schwarz, Palest. p. 27). SEE TRIBE.
