Sibraim

Sibraim appears once in Scripture as a boundary point in Ezekiel's visionary catalog of the restored borders of Israel: "And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad; Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath" (Ezekiel 47:15-16). The town lay between the territories of Damascus and Hamath in the upper Beqaa Valley — extending Israel's ideal restored frontiers well beyond the historical post-exile boundaries that the returning exiles under Zerubbabel and Nehemiah ever actually held in the small Persian-era province of Yehud.
