Kiriath-Sannah
Kiriath-Sannah
kir-i-ath-sana ( , kiryath sannah; the King James Version Kirjath Sannah): In Jos 15:49 it is called Debir, and is identical with KIRIATH-SEPHER (which see). As , polis grammaton, city of books, is the reading in Septuagint, the most natural explanation is that , sannah, is a copyist’s error for , sepher, but Sayce considers this an ancient Canaanite name meaning city of instruction, and that it occurs in the Tell el-Amarna Letters in the form Bit’ sani.
