Senaah or Migdal Senaah
SENAAH or MIGDAL SENAAH
SENAAH or MIGDAL SENAAH (Heb. סְנָאָה), a name which has been variously interpreted. The children of Senaah are listed after those of Jericho in the enumeration of Jews returning from the Babylonian Exile (Ezra 2:35; Neh. 7:38). In the Persian period, it may have been the second capital of the Jericho district. Eusebius mentions a Magdalsenna 8 mi. (c. 13 km.) north of Jericho (Onom. 154:16) and a watchtower (migdal, "tower") is shown in this location on the Madaba Map. It has been identified with Khirbat al-Bayūdāt.
