Verse 49
And Dannah ,.... Dannah is not mentioned elsewhere:
and Kirjathsannah, which is Debir ; Kirjathsannah had three names, this and Debir, and Kirjathsepher; See Gill on Joshua 15:15 ; all which are of much the same signification; for "Sanna" with the Arabs F6 "mos vivendi, lex", Golius, col. 1221. Castell. col. 2567. Vid. Bochart. Canaan, 50:2. c. 17. col. 771. , and so with the Phoenicians, signifies law, doctrine, and manner of life; and with the Mahometans the secondary law to the Koran, and answers to the Jewish Misnah; and the Greek version interprets this name "the city of letters". Jerom F7 De loc. Heb. fol. 90. I. calls it Daenna, and seems to confound it with Dannah.
