Zedad was a northern boundary town or marker near the Hamath region. Its exact site is debated in modern identification, but it is important because it helps define the far extent of the land in both Numbers and Ezekiel. First appears in Num 34:8.1
AI summary: Zedad matters because prophetic and legal land descriptions both rely on it to establish the northern horizon. The cross references present Zedad as a boundary marker at the outer edge of Israel's mapped inheritance.1
Side; sloping place, a town in the north of Palestine, near Hamath (Num. 34:8; Ezek. 47:15). It has been identified with the ruins of Sudud, between Emesa (Hums) and Baalbec, but that is uncertain. 3
