A landmark on Zebulun's boundary (Joshua 19:10; Joshua 19:12). ("hole"), "incision" (Knobel); perhaps the southern opening of the deep, narrow wady, coming down from the basin of Nazareth, about an hour to the S.E. of Nazareth, between two steep mountains. (See tseen , in Keil).

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

SARID . A border town of Zebulun ( Joshua 19:10; Joshua 19:12 ) Probably Sa r id is a copyist’s error for Sa d id, which may be identified with Tell Shadûd , to the N. of the plain of Esdraelon.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

(Heb. Surid' שָׂרַיד . survivor, as often [Fü rst, place of refuge]; Sept. Σαρίδ v.r. Σαρδίδ, Σεδδούχ , etc.), the point of departure on the southern boundary of Zebulon, lying west of Chisloth Tabor, and south of Daberath and Japhia (Joshua 19:10; Joshua 19:12). It was unknown to Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. "Sarith"), and the name has not been discovered by modern research. Knobel, holding the word to mean an "incision," thinks it designates merely the southern opening of the deep and narrow wady which comes down from the basin of Nazareth (q.v.), between two steep mountains (Seetzen, 2, 151 sq.; Robinson, 3, 183). Keil more definitely suggests that it may be found in one of the two heaps of ruins on the south side of the modern "Mount of Precipitation," namely those near el-Mezrach, on the northwest. (See Tribe); (See Zebulon).

sā´rid ( שׂריד , sārı̄dh  ; Codex Vaticanus Ἐσεδεκγωλά , Esedekgōlá , Σεδδούκ , Seddoúk  ; Codex Alexandrinus Σαρθίδ , Sarthı́d , Σαρίδ , Sarı́d ): A place on the southern border of Zebulun to the West of Chisloth-tabor ( Joshua 19:10 , Joshua 19:12 ). It is mentioned but not identified in Eusebius, Onomasticon . Probably we should read "Sadid," and in that case may with Conder locate it at Tell Shaddū , an artificial mound with some modern ruins and good springs, _ which stands on the plain, about 5 miles West of Iksāl .
