Zedad:

side; sloping place, a town in the north of Palestine, near Hamath (Num 34:8; Eze 47:15). It has been identified with the ruins of Sudud, between Emesa (Hums) and Baalbec, but that is uncertain.

Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary

Zedad:

his side; his hunting

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Zedad:

ze'-dad (tsedhadhah, only found with He locale; Samaritan tseradhah; Septuagint Saradak, Sadadak, Saddak): A town or district named in Nu 34:8; Eze 47:15 as on the ideal northern boundary of Israel. The uncertainty of the reading has led to two different identifications being proposed. The form "Zerad" was accepted by yon Kasteren, and his identification was Khirbet Serada in the Merj ‘Ayun, west of the Hasbany branch of the Jordan and north of ‘Abil. This identification, however, would compel us to draw the ideal boundary along the Qasmiyeh valley and thence eastward to Hermon, and that is much too far south. If with Dillmann, Wetzstein, Muehlau and others we read "Zedad," then it is clearly identical with Sadad, a village on the road between Ribleh and Qaryetain. It has been objected that Sadad is too far to the east; but here, as in the tribal boundaries also, the references are rather to the district or lands possessed than to their central town or village.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Zedad:

(mountain side) one of the landmarks on the north border of the land of Israel, as Promised by Moses (Numbers 34:8) and as restored by Ezekiel (Ezekiel 47:15). A place named Sudud exists to the east of the northern extremity of the chain of Anti‐Libanus, about fifty miles east‐northeast of Baalbec. This may be identical with Zedad.
