Ashnah; name of two cities in Judah
A place name appearing in the territorial allotments of Judah, designating two distinct cities. The name may derive from a root meaning 'firm' or 'strong,' though this etymology remains uncertain. Both cities were located in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Joshua 15 lists two separate cities named Ashnah in Judah's inheritance: one in verse 33 (in the lowland district), another in verse 43 (in a different lowland section). The consistent multilingual rendering simply transliterates the name (Asná, Ashnah), treating it as a proper geographical designation. The duplication of the name within the same tribal territory likely reflects distinct settlements, perhaps named for similar topographical features or founding circumstances. 2×
