Seneh (Hastings' Dictionary)

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898–1904)· Public Domain

One of two jagged Soints, or ' teeth of the cliff,' — the other being iozez, between which the ' passage of Michmash ' ran. It is mentioned in connexion with the exploit of Jonathan and his ariiiourbearer, and was to the south of and nearer to Geba than Bozez ( 1 S 14''). Seneh was possibly so called front the thorns (cf. njp of Ex 3^-*, Dt 33'») which grew upon it (cf. ' the plain of thorns,' &Kav6Cliv auXiiv, near the village of Gabathsaul, Jos. BJ v. ii. 1).

The name is retained in the Wddy Suweinlt, on the right bank of which, not far from Jeba, the rock Seneh must have been. A good description of the locality is given by Conder {Tent-]Vork, ii. 112- 114). See also Bobmson [BBP" i. 441). C. W. Wilson.
