The name "Saron" is derived from the Hebrew word "Sharon," which means "a plain" or "a level place." It is often associated with lush vegetation and agricultural abundance.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Saron is referenced in several passages throughout the Bible, highlighting its significance and characteristics:<br><br>1. <b><a href="/1_chronicles/5-16.htm">1 Chronicles 5:16</a> :</b> "The Gadites lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout all the pasturelands of Sharon." This passage indicates that the region of Sharon was known for its pasturelands, suitable for grazing and agriculture.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/isaiah/35-2.htm">Isaiah 35:2</a> :</b> "It will bloom abundantly and even rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God." Here, Sharon is mentioned alongside Lebanon and Carmel, emphasizing its beauty and the divine splendor associated with it.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/acts/9-35.htm">Acts 9:35</a> :</b> "All who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord." This New Testament reference highlights the region's population and their response to the miraculous healing performed by Peter, leading to a turning to the Lord.<br><br><b>Geographical Significance:</b> <br>Saron, or the Plain of Sharon, is located along the central coast of Israel, stretching from Joppa (modern-day Jaffa) to Mount Carmel. It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the hill country of Samaria to the east. The region's fertile soil and favorable climate made it an ideal location for agriculture, contributing to its reputation as a place of beauty and productivity.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b> <br>In biblical times, Saron was a significant agricultural area, known for its vineyards, olive groves, and pastures. Its strategic location along trade routes also made it an important region for commerce and interaction between different cultures and peoples.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Theological Themes:</b> <br>Saron is often used symbolically in the Bible to represent beauty, fertility, and divine blessing. The lushness of the region serves as a metaphor for spiritual abundance and the flourishing of God's people. In <a href="/isaiah/35-2.htm">Isaiah 35:2</a>, the transformation of Sharon into a place of joy and splendor is a prophetic image of the restoration and renewal that comes from God's presence.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While not explicitly stated, the references to Saron in the Bible reflect its importance as a region of both physical and spiritual significance. Its fertile plains and beauty serve as a testament to God's provision and the potential for renewal and transformation in the lives of His people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Saron</span><p>same as Sharon<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Saron</span><p>the district in which Lydda stood, (<a href="/acts/9-35.htm">Acts 9:35</a>) only; the Sharon of the Old Testament.
