Sarid
H8301 noun
SILEX Entry
Definition
Proper noun denoting a specific place-name: Sarid, a settlement or town in the territory allotted to the tribe of Zebulun. In different contexts, the word is used exclusively as a geographic designation and does not carry other lexical meanings within the Hebrew Bible. The associated common noun (שָׂרִיד) elsewhere can mean 'survivor, remnant,' but as a place-name it denotes only the location.
Semantic Range
proper name of a settlement in Zebulun; Sarid; not used with the meaning 'survivor' in this context
Root / Etymology
Derived from the root שׂרד (שָׂרַד), meaning 'to survive' or 'to remain, survive as a remnant.' The place-name likely originates from the same root as the common noun 'survivor, remnant,' but its precise process of formation as a toponym is not fully documented.
Historical & Contextual Notes
שָׂרִיד is attested in Joshua 19:10, 12 as a town within the tribal allotment of Zebulun. The text offers no direct explanation for its naming, but the name's root connection to 'survivor/remnant' (שָׂרִיד) may reflect a tradition, historical event, or geographic reality (such as a place where survivors settled). There is no indication in the biblical texts that the name Sarid was used for any group, individual, or had a broader lexicon meaning in the Bible; it is strictly a place-name in the territorial listings. Standard English versions transliterate the name as 'Sarid.' The name does not appear in post-biblical texts as a personal or group designation. Care should be taken to distinguish this proper noun from the similar-sounding common noun 'sarid' (survivor).
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
the same as שָׂרִיד; Sarid, a place in Palestine; Sarid.
