Where is Zer in the Bible?
Zer was a fortified city located in the territory of Naphtali in ancient Israel, positioned on the western slopes of the Sea of Galilee. The city appears in the Book of Joshua as part of a list of fortified cities in the region of Naphtali, mentioned between Ziddim and Hammath. Based on geographical references to nearby locations south of Tiberias, scholars believe Zer occupied a strategic location in northern Israel, though its exact modern location has not been definitively identified. The city's mention among Naphtali's fortifications reflects the military and administrative importance of this border region during biblical times.
