SINIM . The ‘land of Sinim’ ( Isaiah 49:12 ) must, from the context, have been in the extreme south or east of the known world. In the south, Sin ( Pelusium , Ezekiel 30:15 f.) and Syene ( Ezekiel 29:10; Ezekiel 30:6 ) have been suggested. The latter is favoured by recent discoveries of papyri (cf. Seveneh). The LXX [Note: Septuagint.] favours the view that a country in the east was intended, and some modern commentators have identified Sinim with China, the land of the Sinæ.
