And Dannah,…. Dannah is not mentioned elsewhere,
and Kirjathsannah, which [is] Debir; Kirjathsannah had three names, this and Debir, and Kirjathsepher; [See comments on Jos 15:15]; all which are of much the same signification; for “Sanna” with the Arabs f, 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 g calls it Daenna, and seems to confound it with Dannah.

49. Kirjath-sannah The English reader will be assisted in his understanding of many of these names if he remembers that Kirjath means city. The word following completes the sense, as Kirjath-sannah, city of literature.
Debir See on Jos 10:38.
