a place in Egypt mentioned only in Isa. 30:4 in connection with a reproof given to the Jews for trusting in Egypt. It was considered the same as Tahpanhes, a fortified town on the eastern frontier, but has been also identified as Ahnas-el-Medeeneh, 70 miles from Cairo.
hanes in Smith's Bible Dictionary
a place in Egypt mentioned only in #Isa 30:4| We think that the Chald Paraphr. is right in identifying it with Tahpanhes, a fortified town on the eastern frontier.
hanes in Schaff's Bible Dictionary
HA'NES , a city of Egypt, Isa 30:4, and generally identified with Heracleopolis, "Hercules' city," in middle Egypt, on the west of the Nile; but the Chaldee paraphrast reads Tahpanhes, thus identifying it with that city.
hanes in Fausset's Bible Dictionary
Isaiah 30:4, the same as Tahpanhes or Daphne, a fortress on the N.E. frontier of Egypt, to which the Jews sent ambassadors with presents for the reigning Pharaoh (perhaps Zet or Sethos of the 23rd dynasty), as also to the neighbouring Zoan his capital. Gesenius, less probably, makes Hanes to be Heracleopolis, W. of the Nile in central Egypt.
