Zanoah: (marsh). 1. A town of Judah in the Shefelah or plain, Jos 15:34; Ne 3:13; 11:30 possibly identical with Zanu'a. 2. A town of Judah in the highland district, Jos 15:66 not improbably identical with Sanute, about 10 miles south of Hebron. 3. In the genealogical lists of the tribe of Judah in 1 Chron., Jekuthiel is said to have been the father of Zanoah. ch. 1Ch 4:18 As Zanoah is the name of a town of Judah, this mention of Bithiah probably points to some colonization of the place by Egyptians or by Israelites directly from Egypt. |
