Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂטַן (satan), meaning "to oppose" or "to be an adversary."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Sitnah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of opposition or enmity can be related to Greek terms such as ἀντίθεσις (antithesis) or ἐχθρός (echthros), which convey similar ideas of opposition or hostility. Usage: Sitnah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a well. Context: Sitnah is mentioned in the context of Isaac's experiences in the land of Gerar. After the Philistines filled the wells that Abraham's servants had dug, Isaac's servants dug new wells. The second well they dug was named Sitnah, meaning "opposition," because the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen over it. This incident is recorded in Genesis 26:21: "Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah." The naming of the well reflects the ongoing conflict and hostility Isaac faced from the Philistines, symbolizing the broader theme of opposition that God's people often encounter.
