Zaanan

From Textus Receptus

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Place of flocks, mentioned only in Mic_1:11. It may be identified with Zenan, in the plain country of Judah (Jos_15:37).

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Zenan, in the low hill country (shephelah) of Judah (Jos_15:37), meaning "the place of flocks." Playing on its meaning Micah (Mic_1:11) says, "though in name implying thou dost come forth (yatsa), thou camest not forth." Maurer and Pusey construe, "the mourning of Bethezel takes away from you her shelter" (its stay or standing). Though Bethezel be at your side, according to her name, yet as she also mourns under the foe's oppression she cannot give you shelter, or be at your side (as her name might lead you to expect), if you come forth and be intercepted by him from returning to Zaanan. Vatablus better, "Zaanan came not forth (shut herself within her walls), he (the foe) shall receive a check (literally, his standing) by you," brought to a stand before you, in besieging, but only for a time. Zaanan too fell, like Bethezel before her.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE)

zā´a-nan (צענן, ca‛ănān; Σενναάρ, Sennaár): A place named by Micah in the Shephelah of Judah (Mic_1:11). 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.

Nave's Topical Bible

Called also Zenan, a place of uncertain location. Jos_15:37; Mic_1:11

Smith's bible Dictionary

Za'anan. See Zenan.
