Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root צָאָן (tsa'an), meaning "to go out" or "to migrate."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Zaanan, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Zaanan is a proper noun referring to a location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Zaanan is a town mentioned in the prophetic book of Micah. It is referenced in Micah 1:11, where the prophet Micah delivers a message of lamentation and judgment against various cities in Judah. The name Zaanan is part of a wordplay in the Hebrew text, as the inhabitants of Zaanan are said to "not come out" (לֹא יָצְאָה, lo yatza'ah) in the face of impending disaster, which contrasts with the meaning of the town's name, "going out." This literary device emphasizes the irony and the severity of the judgment pronounced by the prophet. The exact location of Zaanan is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been situated in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah. The mention of Zaanan in Micah highlights the widespread nature of the coming judgment and serves as a call to repentance for the people of Judah.
