(Heb. idn. זַי , battlement [Gesen.] or melting place [Fü rst]; Sept. Ζίβ or Ζίφ, with many v.r.; Vulg. Ziph or Siph), the name of a man and of one or two places in Judah.
1. First named of the four sons of Jehaleleel of the tribe of Judah (1 Chronicles 4:16). B.C. post 1618.
2. A town apparently in the south or Simeonitish part of Judah (Joshua 15:24), where it is mentioned between Ithnan and Telem; but the enumeration and the absence of the copula require us to join it with the former, i.e. Ithnan-ziph, and in that case it may be an appendage retaining a trace of the Zephath (q.v.) of that region. (See ITHNAN).
