It appears specifically in the Book of Numbers and the Book of Ezekiel.<br><br>· <b><a href="/numbers/34-8.htm">Numbers 34:8</a> :</b> "From Mount Hor, you are to mark out the boundary to Lebo-hamath, then extend the boundary to Zedad."<br>· <b><a href="/ezekiel/47-15.htm">Ezekiel 47:15</a> :</b> "This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side it will extend from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon through Lebo-hamath to Zedad."<br><br><b>Geographical Context:</b> <br>Zedad is identified as a location on the northern boundary of the land that God promised to the Israelites. It is part of the delineation of the land's borders as described in the Old Testament. The exact location of Zedad is not definitively known today, but it is generally considered to be in the region of modern-day Lebanon or Syria, north of the ancient land of Canaan.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance:</b> <br>The mention of Zedad in the Bible is significant in the context of God's covenant with the Israelites. The delineation of boundaries, including Zedad, underscores the specific and tangible nature of the Promised Land as a gift from God to His chosen people. It reflects the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob regarding the inheritance of a land for their descendants.<br><br>Theologically, the boundaries of the Promised Land, including Zedad, symbolize God's provision and faithfulness. They serve as a reminder of the divine promise and the importance of obedience to God's commands in order to fully realize His blessings. The specific mention of locations like Zedad highlights the historical reality of the biblical narrative and God's interaction with His people in a real-world context.<br><br><b>Cultural and Archaeological Insights:</b> <br>While Zedad's precise location remains uncertain, its mention alongside other identifiable locations provides valuable insights into the geography of the ancient Near East. Archaeological and historical studies continue to explore the possible sites that correspond to biblical locations, contributing to a deeper understanding of the biblical text and its historical setting.<br><br>In summary, Zedad is a biblically significant location marking the northern boundary of the Promised Land. Its mention in the Scriptures serves as a testament to God's covenantal promises and the historical reality of the biblical narrative.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Zedad</span><p>his side; his hunting<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Zedad</span><p>(<i>mountain side</i>), one of the landmarks on the north border of the land of Israel, as Promised by Moses, (<a href="/numbers/34-8.htm">Numbers 34:8</a>) and as restored by Ezekiel.

The uncertainty of the reading has led to two different identifications being proposed. The form "Zerad" was accepted by yon Kasteren, and his identification was Khirbet Serada in the Merj `Ayun, West of the Hasbany branch of the Jordan and North of `Abil. This identification, however, would compel us to draw the ideal boundary along the Qasmiyeh valley and thence eastward to Hermon, and that is much too far South If with Dillmann, Wetzstein, Muehlau and others we read "Zedad," then it is clearly identical with Sadad, a village on the road between Ribleh and Qaryetain. It has been objected that Sadad is too far to the East; but here, as in the tribal boundaries also, the references are rather to the district or lands possessed than to their central town or village.<br><br>W.
