Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Sephared in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. Usage: Sephared is mentioned in the Bible as a place where Jewish exiles were located. It is referenced in the context of the return of the exiles to their homeland. The exact geographical location of Sephared is not definitively known, but it is traditionally associated with a region in the ancient Near East. Cultural and Historical Background: Sephared is mentioned in the post-exilic period of Israel's history, a time when the Jewish people were dispersed across various regions following the Babylonian exile. The identification of Sephared has been a subject of debate among scholars, with some associating it with areas in Asia Minor, while others suggest locations in the Iberian Peninsula. The term "Sephardic" later came to refer to Jews of Spanish and Portuguese descent, though this is a much later development.
