Subjects in this Topic:

zā´a-nan (צענן, ca‛ănān; Σενναάρ, Sennaár): A place named by Micah in the Shephelah of Judah (). In this sentence the prophet makes verbal play with the name, as if it were derived from yācā', “to go forth”: “The inhabitant (margin “inhabitress”) of ca‛ănān is not come forth” (yāce'āh). The place is not identical. It is probably the same as ZENAN.
