Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tser, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. However, geographical terms and boundary markers are often translated with Greek terms related to land and territory, such as χώρα (chōra) for "region" or "land."

Usage: Tser is used in the context of a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible. It is mentioned as a landmark or boundary marker.

Context: Tser is identified as a location in the territory of the tribe of Naphtali. It is mentioned in the context of the delineation of tribal boundaries. The specific reference to Tser is found in the book of Joshua, where it is listed among the cities and landmarks that define the extent of Naphtali's inheritance. The exact location of Tser is not definitively known today, but it is understood to be a rocky or elevated area, consistent with its name. The mention of Tser in the biblical text underscores the importance of geographical markers in the ancient Near Eastern practice of defining tribal and territorial boundaries.
