Where Sidon appears in Scripture
וַיְהִי גְּבוּל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי מִצִּידֹן בֹּֽאֲכָה גְרָרָה עַד-עַזָּה בֹּֽאֲכָה סְדֹמָה וַֽעֲמֹרָה וְאַדְמָה וּצְבֹיִם עַד-לָֽשַׁע׃
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
זְבוּלֻן לְחוֹף יַמִּים יִשְׁכֹּן וְהוּא לְחוֹף אֳנִיֹּת וְיַרְכָתוֹ עַל-צִידֹֽן׃
Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה בְּיַֽד-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּכּוּם וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּם עַד-צִידוֹן רַבָּה וְעַד מִשְׂרְפוֹת מַיִם וְעַד-בִּקְעַת מִצְפֶּה מִזְרָחָה וַיַּכֻּם עַד-בִּלְתִּי הִשְׁאִֽיר-לָהֶם שָׂרִֽיד׃
And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
וְעֶבְרֹן וּרְחֹב וְחַמּוֹן וְקָנָה עַד צִידוֹן רַבָּֽה׃
And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon;
אָשֵׁר לֹא הוֹרִישׁ אֶת-יֹֽשְׁבֵי עַכּוֹ וְאֶת-יֽוֹשְׁבֵי צִידוֹן וְאֶת-אַחְלָב וְאֶת-אַכְזִיב וְאֶת-חֶלְבָּה וְאֶת-אֲפִיק וְאֶת-רְחֹֽב׃
Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
וַיֹּסִיפוּ׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת-הָֽעַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְאֶת-אֱלֹהֵי אֲרָם וְאֶת-אֱלֹהֵי צִידוֹן וְאֵת׀ אֱלֹהֵי מוֹאָב וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וְלֹא עֲבָדֽוּהוּ׃
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.
וְאֵין מַצִּיל כִּי רְֽחוֹקָה-הִיא מִצִּידוֹן וְדָבָר אֵין-לָהֶם עִם-אָדָם וְהִיא בָּעֵמֶק אֲשֶׁר לְבֵית-רְחוֹב וַיִּבְנוּ אֶת-הָעִיר וַיֵּשְׁבוּ בָֽהּ׃
And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַגִּלְעָדָה וְאֶל-אֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּים חָדְשִׁי וַיָּבֹאוּ דָּנָה יַּעַן וְסָבִיב אֶל-צִידֽוֹן׃
Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,
קוּם לֵךְ צָֽרְפַתָה אֲשֶׁר לְצִידוֹן וְיָֽשַׁבְתָּ שָׁם הִנֵּה צִוִּיתִי שָׁם אִשָּׁה אַלְמָנָה לְכַלְכְּלֶֽךָ׃
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
דֹּמּוּ יֹשְׁבֵי אִי סֹחֵר צִידוֹן עֹבֵר יָם מִלְאֽוּךְ׃
Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
בּוֹשִׁי צִידוֹן כִּֽי-אָמַר יָם מָעוֹז הַיָּם לֵאמֹר לֹֽא-חַלְתִּי וְלֹֽא-יָלַדְתִּי וְלֹא גִדַּלְתִּי בַּחוּרִים רוֹמַמְתִּי בְתוּלֽוֹת׃
Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.
וַיֹּאמֶר לֹֽא-תוֹסִיפִי עוֹד לַעְלוֹז הַֽמְעֻשָּׁקָה בְּתוּלַת בַּת-צִידוֹן (כתיים) כִּתִּים קוּמִי עֲבֹרִי גַּם-שָׁם לֹא-יָנוּחַֽ לָֽךְ׃
And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.
וְאֵת כָּל-מַלְכֵי-צֹר וְאֵת כָּל-מַלְכֵי צִידוֹן וְאֵת מַלְכֵי הָאִי אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵבֶר הַיָּֽם׃
And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,
וְשִׁלַּחְתָּם אֶל-מֶלֶךְ אֱדוֹם וְאֶל-מֶלֶךְ מוֹאָב וְאֶל-מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וְאֶל-מֶלֶךְ צֹר וְאֶל-מֶלֶךְ צִידוֹן בְּיַד מַלְאָכִים הַבָּאִים יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶל-צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃
And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
עַל-הַיּוֹם הַבָּא לִשְׁדוֹד אֶת-כָּל-פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְהַכְרִית לְצֹר וּלְצִידוֹן כֹּל שָׂרִיד עֹזֵר כִּֽי-שֹׁדֵד יְהוָה אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים שְׁאֵרִית אִי כַפְתּֽוֹר׃
Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
יֹשְׁבֵי צִידוֹן וְאַרְוַד הָיוּ שָׁטִים לָךְ חֲכָמַיִךְ צוֹר הָיוּ בָךְ הֵמָּה חֹבְלָֽיִךְ׃
The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.
בֶּן-אָדָם שִׂים פָּנֶיךָ אֶל-צִידוֹן וְהִנָּבֵא עָלֶֽיהָ׃
Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי עָלַיִךְ צִידוֹן וְנִכְבַּדְתִּי בְּתוֹכֵךְ וְֽיָדְעוּ כִּֽי-אֲנִי יְהוָה בַּעֲשׂוֹתִי בָהּ שְׁפָטִים וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בָֽהּ׃
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
וְגַם מָה-אַתֶּם לִי צֹר וְצִידוֹן וְכֹל גְּלִילוֹת פְּלָשֶׁת הַגְּמוּל אַתֶּם מְשַׁלְּמִים עָלָי וְאִם-גֹּמְלִים אַתֶּם עָלַי קַל מְהֵרָה אָשִׁיב גְּמֻלְכֶם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶֽם׃
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
וְגַם-חֲמָת תִּגְבָּל-בָּהּ צֹר וְצִידוֹן כִּי חָֽכְמָה מְאֹֽד׃
And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
