sit´na (שׂטנה, siṭnāh, “hatred,” “hostility”; ἐχθρία, echthrı́a): The name of the second of the two wells dug by the herdsmen of Isaac, the cause of further “enmity” with the herdsmen of Gerer (, margin “That is, Enmity”). The site is unknown, but Palmer (PEFS, 1871) finds an echo of the name in Shuṭnet er Ruḥeibeh, the name of a small valley near Ruḥeibeh. See REHOBOTH.
