However, the concept of "hidden" or "treasured" can be related to Greek words like κρυπτός (kryptos), meaning "hidden."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Zephon is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to refer to a descendant of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name may carry the connotation of "hidden" or "treasured," reflecting the root meaning of the word.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of the circumstances of birth or the aspirations of the parents. The tribe of Gad, to which Zephon belonged, was one of the tribes that settled on the eastern side of the Jordan River. This tribe was known for its warrior-like characteristics, as described in the blessings of Jacob and Moses.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6822.htm">tsaphah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps "gaze," a son of Gad, the same as NH6837<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Zephon (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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Zephon <p>Probably for <a href="/hebrew/6837.htm">Tsiphyown</a>; Tsephon, an Israelite -- Zephon. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6837.htm">Tsiphyown</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>לִצְפ֗וֹן לצפון liṣ·p̄ō·wn liṣp̄ōwn litzFon<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/numbers/26-15.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Numbers 26:15</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/numbers/26.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">גָד֮ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם֒ <b> לִצְפ֗וֹן </b> מִשְׁפַּ֙חַת֙ הַצְּפוֹנִ֔י</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/numbers/26.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> according to their families: <span class="itali">of Zephon,</span> the family<br><a href="/kjvs/numbers/26.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> after their families: <span class="itali">of Zephon,</span> the family<br><a href="/interlinear/numbers/26-15.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of Gad to their families <span class="itali">of Zephon</span> the family of the Zephonites<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6827.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6827.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6827<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/litzfon_6827.htm">liṣ·p̄ō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6826.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6826"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6826" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6828.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6828"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6828" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
