Where is Ziphron in the Bible?

Ziphron was a location on the northern border of the Promised Land in ancient Israel. It is mentioned in the book of Numbers as part of the boundary description that God gave to Moses, marking the limits of the territory that would be allotted to the Israelites. The name Ziphron may derive from a Hebrew word meaning "bird" or "swallow," though the exact location in modern geography remains uncertain. This place appears in the context of God's instructions regarding the boundaries of Canaan, making it significant for understanding the territorial scope of Israel's inheritance under the Mosaic covenant.
