What is Zedad?
ZE'DAD
(mountain-side) , a city on the northern boundary of the Israelites, as described by Moses and Ezekiel. Num 34:8; Eze 47:15. It has been identified with the modern Sudud, some 70 miles north-east of Damascus, and 35 miles south-south-east of Hums, the ancient Emesa. Sudud is still a large village, though it does not contain any relics of antiquity except a few fragments of columns built into the mud walls of the modern houses. It is surrounded by gardens and cultivated fields. The inhabitants are all members of the Jacobite Church, and constitute the only remnant of that ancient sect in Syria.
