sḗ - nā´a , sen´ā́ - a ( סנאה , ṣenā'āh ; Codex Vaticanus Σαανά , Sananá ; Σανανάτ , Sananát ; Codex Alexandrinus Σανανά , Sananá , Σενναά , Sennaá , Ἁσάν , Hasán ): The children of Senaah are mentioned as having formed part of the company returning from the captivity with Zerubbabel ( Ezra 2:35; Nehemiah 7:38 ). The numbers vary as given by Ezr (3, 630) and Neh (3, 930), while 1 Esdras 5:23 puts them at 3, 330. In the last place the name is Sanaas, the King James Version "Annaas" (Codex Vaticanus Σαμά , Samá ; Codex Alexandrinus Σανάας , Sanáas ). In Nehemiah 3:3 the name occurs with the definite article, ha -senaah . The people may be identical with the Benjamite clan Hassenuah (1 Chronicles 9:7 ). Eusebius, in Onomasticon , speaks of Magdalsenna a village about 7 miles North of Jericho, which may be the place intended; but the site is not known.
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) was edited by James Orr, John Nuelsen, Edgar Mullins, Morris Evans, and Melvin Grove Kyle and was published complete in 1939. This web site includes the complete text.
WikipediaThe ISBE is a classic Bible reference compiled from nearly 10,000 entries written by over 200 different Bible scholars and teachers. In addition to the encyclopedia articles, all of the major words of the Bible are represented and defined.
The historical, cultural, and linguistic information in the ISBE can be of great value in Bible study and research.
But as with any writings of men, the careful student of the Bible must always compare them with Scripture. As you use this helpful study resource, remember that only God's word is pure.
