Senaah
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
sḗ - nā´a , sen´ā́ - a ( סנאה , ṣenā'āh ; Codex Vaticanus Σαανά , Sananá ; Σανανάτ , Sananát ; Codex Alexandrinus Σανανά , Sananá , Σενναά , Sennaá , Ἁσάν , Hasán ): The children of Senaah are mentioned as having formed part of the company returning from the captivity with Zerubbabel ( Ezra 2:35; Nehemiah 7:38 ). The numbers vary as given by Ezr (3, 630) and Neh (3, 930), while 1 Esdras 5:23 puts them at 3, 330. In the last place the name is Sanaas, the King James Version "Annaas" (Codex Vaticanus Σαμά , Samá ; Codex Alexandrinus Σανάας , Sanáas ). In Nehemiah 3:3 the name occurs with the definite article, ha -senaah . The people may be identical with the Benjamite clan Hassenuah (1 Chronicles 9:7 ). Eusebius, in Onomasticon , speaks of Magdalsenna a village about 7 miles North of Jericho, which may be the place intended; but the site is not known.
