Zephon (son of Gad, progenitor of Zephonite clan)
This personal name designates a son of Gad and founder of a clan. The name appears in two forms in Scripture: Zephon in Numbers 26:15 and Ziphion in Genesis 46:16, representing the same individual. The etymology may connect to 'gazing' or 'watching,' though this remains uncertain. The clan descended from him became known as the Zephonites, one of the family groups within the tribe of Gad that entered Canaan.
