James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Senaah


Subjects in this Topic:

SENAAH.—The children of Senaah, or more correctly Hassenaah, were a clan or family who, according to Ezr_2:35, Neh_7:38, 1Es_5:23 [Sanaas], were among the exiles of the first Restoration under Zerub., and had a share in re-building the walls (Neh_3:3). They are elsewhere unknown, unless they should be identified with Hassenuah of Benjamin (1Ch_9:7, Neh_11:9). The latter would then be the correct reading. Other conjectures are less probable.
