Senaah

From BibleEncyclopedia.Net

Thorny, a place many of the inhabitants of which returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:35; Nehemiah 7:38).

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 Ezra (3, 630) and Nehemiah (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.
