Ziphron appears as a geographical marker on Canaan's northern boundary in Numbers 34:9. The exact location is disputed—proposals include sites northeast of Damascus (Zifran) or between Homs and Hamath (Za'ferane). Both suggestions place it in modern Syria, defining the promised land's northern extent. The '-ah' ending indicates directionality ('toward Ziphron'). Like many boundary markers, its precise identification remains uncertain, but it helped ancient Israelites conceptualize their territorial inheritance.
