<p> ''''' zēr ''''' , ''''' zer ''''' ( צר , <i> ''''' cēr ''''' </i> ; in [[Septuagint]] the verse (&nbsp; Joshua 19:35 ) reads καὶ αἱ πόλεις τειχήρεις τῶν Τυρίων , ρ Ο2 κπ . ρ Ο2 τπ . ρ Ο2 λπ ., <i> ''''' kaı́ ''''' </i> <i> ''''' hai ''''' </i> <i> ''''' póleis ''''' </i> <i> ''''' teichḗreis ''''' </i> <i> ''''' tṓn ''''' </i> <i> ''''' Turı́ōn ''''' </i> , which implies a [[Hebrew]] text with הצּרים , <i> ''''' ha ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' cūrı̄m ''''' </i> , "Tyrians"; this must be an error): One of the fortified cities in Naphtali, named between Ziddim ( <i> ''''' Haṭṭı̄n ''''' </i> ) and [[Hammath]] ( <i> ''''' el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Ḥammeh ''''' </i> , South of Tiberias). If the text is correct, it must have lain on the slopes West of the Sea of Galilee. It is not identified. </p>

<p> (Heb. Tser, '''''צֵר''''' ''Rock;'' Sept. by misapprehension, '''''Τύρος''''' , Vulg. ''Ser),'' one of the fortified towns of Naphtali (&nbsp;Joshua 19:35), where it is named between Ziddim and Hamnath; but from the absence of the copulative ("and") between this and the preceding name, as well as from the total ("nineteen cities") in &nbsp;Joshua 19:33, it is evidently a part of the preceding name, Ziddim-zer. (See Ziddim). Schwarz remarks ''(Palest.'' page 182) that Zer is mentioned in the [[Jerusalem]] [[Talmud]] ''(Megillah,'' 1) as lying near Ziddim. </p>
