(Heb. Yithnan', יַתְנָן , bestowed, otherwise distance; Sept. Ι᾿θνάν [but the Vat. MS. joins it to the preceding word, Ἀσοριωνάν, and the Alex. to the following, Ι᾿θναζίφ ],Vulg. Jethram), one of the cities in the south of Judah, mentioned between Hazor and Ziph (Joshua 15:23); perhaps lying along the southern edge of the highland district. It cannot well have been the Jedna of the Onomasticon (Ι᾿εδνά, the modern Idhna), for this is in the mountains west of Hebron (see Keil Comment. ad loc.). The enumeration in Joshua 15:32 requires us to join this with the following (there being no copula between), Ithnan-Ziph, i.e. Zephath (q.v.). (See JUDAH).
