zēr, zer (צר, cēr; in Septuagint the verse () reads καὶ αἱ πόλεις τειχήρεις τῶν Τυρίων, κ. τ. λ., kaı́ hai póleis teichḗreis tṓn Turı́ōn, which implies a Hebrew text with הצּרים, ha-cūrı̄m, “Tyrians”; this must be an error): One of the fortified cities in Naphtali, named between Ziddim (Haṭṭı̄n) and Hammath (el-Ḥammeh, 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.
