The reference to Sephar in Genesis 10:30 situates it in the region where the sons of Joktan settled. Historically, Sephar is thought to be located in the southern Arabian Peninsula, possibly linked to the ancient trading routes and known for its mountainous terrain. This area was significant for its role in early trade and cultural exchanges between the civilizations of the Near East and the Arabian Peninsula.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/5612.htm">sepher</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place in S.
