Zin

ZIN, Sin, or Senna, a City to the South of the Land of Promise, Numb. xxxiv. 4. Perhaps this may be the same as Senaah, Ezr. ii. 35. or Zin, Josh. xv. 3. Eusebius mentions a Place called Migdal-Senna, or the Tower of Senna, eight Miles from Jericho towards the North. This cannot be the Zin or Sennah taken notice of in the Passages of Numbers or Joshua; but may it not be that of Ezra? See SIN.
