Definition: Zephant, a Hebrew noun meaning "land," describes a mountainous area in Palestine. It comes from the Septuagint translation of the ancient Greek name for this land, which was ζεφτιν ἐπίν (zéphíntēpn), meaning "the place where God gave his word". Zephant is often used as a metaphorical term to describe a person's role in God's plan and vision.
