It is often associated with a location of strategic importance, possibly a lookout or watchtower, given its root meaning. The name suggests a place where one might keep watch or be vigilant.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, locations with names derived from "watch" or "lookout" were often situated on elevated terrain, providing strategic military advantages. These sites were crucial for defense and communication, allowing inhabitants to observe approaching threats or send signals across distances. The cultural significance of such places underscores the importance of vigilance and preparedness in the ancient world.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6857.htm">Tsephath</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a valley in Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Zephathah (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">צְפַ֫תָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Judah</b></font> (van d.
