(Heb. Tsior', צַיעֹר , smallness; Sept. Σιώρ v.r. Σωραίθ; Vulg. Sior), a town in the highland district of Judah (Joshua 15:54), where it is mentioned in the group around Hebron to the south. (See JUDAH, TRIBE OF). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v.. Σιώρ ) call it a village between Jerusalem and Eleutheropolis. It probably corresponds to the small village still called Sair on the road about six miles north-east of Hebron towards Tekoa (Robinson, Bibl. Res. 1, 488), traditionally pointed out as the site of the grave of Esau (Schwarz, Palest. p. 106).
