ZANOAH za-no'-a (zanoach; Codex Vaticanus Tano; Codex Alexandrinus Zano): (1) A town in the Judean Shephelah, grouped with Eshtaol, Zorah and Ashnah (Josh 15:34). The Jews reoccupied the place after the exile (Neh 11:30). Here it is named between Jarmuth and Adullam. The inhabitants assisted in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, repairing the valley gate (Neh 3:13). Eusebius (in Onomasticon) places it at Zanna, in the district of Eleutheropolis on the Jerusalem road. It is represented by the modern Zanu`a, about 10 miles North of Belt Jibrin (Eleutheropolis). (2) (Codex Vaticanus Zakanaeim; Codex Alexandrinus Zano): A place in the mountains (Josh 15:56) of which Jekuthiel was the "father" or founder (1 Ch 4:18). It may be identified with Zenuta, a ruined site on a hill about 12 miles South of Hebron. W. Ewing |
