1. Zoan (proper name, Egyptian city) — A proper noun identifying the ancient Egyptian city of Zoan (Tanis), located in the eastern Nile Delta. Referenced as a site of God's wonders (Ps 78:12,43), as a seat of Egyptian princes and counsel (Isa 19:11,13, 30:4), and as a city built seven years after Hebron (Num 13:22). All 7 occurrences refer to the same city. Multilingual evidence uniformly transliterates: eng 'Zoan', spa 'Zoán', hin सोअन, arb صُوعَنَ, kor 소안, swa 'Soani'. The prepositional form with beth (S130368, 'in Zoan') is syntactic, not a distinct sense. 7×
