סִבְרַ֫יִם proper name, of a location city between the border of Damascus and that of Hamath Ezekiel 47:16; identification by see Kasteren^{Revue Bibl. Internat. 1895, 23 ff.} with Khirbet Sanbariye on the river „âƒbâni, southwest of Hermon, compare Buhl^{Geogr. 67, 238}, but this apparently too far southwest; ᵐ5 Σεβραμ, A Σεφραμ. A city Šabara'in is named in Babylonian Chronicle^{i. 28} (Schr^{KB ii. 276}); but location not given.

Word Origin: Derived from the root סָבַר (sabar), which means "to hope" or "to wait."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Sibrajim, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Sibrajim is used as a geographical name in the Hebrew Bible. It is mentioned in the context of a boundary description.

Context: Sibrajim is referenced in the book of Ezekiel as a location on the northern boundary of the land allotted to the tribe of Israel. In Ezekiel 47:16, the text describes the borders of the land, mentioning Sibrajim as a point of reference: "Hamath, Berothah, Sibrajim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran." The exact location of Sibrajim is not definitively known today, but it is understood to be situated between the territories of Damascus and Hamath. This positioning suggests its significance in marking territorial limits during the prophetic vision of the land's division.
