The etymology reflects the cultural and linguistic context of ancient Hebrew, where names often carried significant meanings related to personal characteristics or life circumstances.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b> <br>Sered is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the sons of Zebulun, who was the sixth son of Jacob and Leah. The primary reference to Sered is found in the Book of Genesis:<br><br>· <b><a href="/genesis/46-14.htm">Genesis 46:14</a> :</b> "The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel."<br><br>This passage is part of the genealogical record that lists the descendants of Jacob who went to Egypt during the time of famine. Sered is noted as one of the three sons of Zebulun, contributing to the tribal lineage of Israel.<br><br><b>Tribal Association</b> <br>Sered is associated with the tribe of Zebulun, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Zebulun played a significant role in the history of Israel, particularly in the allocation of land during the conquest of Canaan. Although Sered himself is not prominently featured in biblical narratives, his inclusion in the genealogical records underscores the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in ancient Israelite society.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context</b> <br>The mention of Sered in the genealogies highlights the importance of family and tribal connections in the biblical narrative. Genealogies served not only as historical records but also as a means of establishing identity and inheritance rights within the Israelite community. The tribe of Zebulun, to which Sered belonged, was allocated a region in the northern part of Canaan, which included fertile land and access to trade routes.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b> <br>From a theological perspective, the inclusion of Sered in the biblical genealogies reflects the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, particularly the promise to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. Each descendant, including Sered, represents a link in the chain of God's covenantal faithfulness to His people. The genealogies also emphasize the continuity of God's plan through successive generations, leading ultimately to the coming of the Messiah.<br><br><b>Legacy</b> <br>While Sered himself does not have a detailed narrative in the Bible, his legacy is preserved through his association with the tribe of Zebulun. The tribe's role in the history of Israel, as well as its prophetic blessings, can be seen as part of Sered's enduring legacy. The tribe of Zebulun is mentioned in the blessings of Jacob and Moses, highlighting its future prosperity and significance:<br><br>· <b><a href="/genesis/49-13.htm">Genesis 49:13</a> :</b> "Zebulun will dwell by the seashore and become a harbor for ships; his border will extend to Sidon."<br><br>This blessing, while not directly mentioning Sered, encompasses the tribe to which he belonged, indicating the broader impact of his lineage within the narrative of Israel's history.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sered</span><p>dyer's vat<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sered</span><p>(<i>fear</i>), the first-born of Zebulun.
