Zaanan'nim (Heb. Tsaanannim', צִעֲנִנַּים; Sept. Βεσενανίμ, v.r. Σεεννανίμ; Vulg. Saanunim), a place mentioned only (in this form) in Jos 19:33, and in the Keri or margin of Jg 4:11; but usually thought to be the more correct form of Zaanaim (q.v.), which occurs in the text of the latter passage. It appears to be derived (if a Hebrew word) from a root (צָעִן, to migrate) signifying to load beasts as nomads do when they change their places of residence (Gesenius, Thesaur. p. 1177). The rendering of the A. V. is incorrect "And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaunannimi." The Hebrew is מֵאִלּוֹן בּצִעֲנִנַּים, and can only signify from the oak of (or "in") Zaanannim" (see Keil, ad loc.; Reland, Palaest. p. 717; Keil and Delitzsch, On Judges 4:11; Porter, Giant Cities of Bashan, p. 268).
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later.
