ZAANAN.
—
A
place
mentioned
in
Mic
1",
where
there
is
a
characteristic
word-play
:
'
The
inhabitress
of
Za'anan
went
(.ySseah)
not
out
'
(for
fear
of
the
enemy).
Za'anan
is
generally
considered
to
be
the
same
as
Zenan
of
Jos
15",
an
unidentified
town
in
the
Shephelah.
ZAANANNIM.—
The
border
of
the
tribe
of
Naphtali
passed
through
'the
terebinth
in
Zaanannim'
(Jos
19"'),
and
the
camp
of
Heber
the
Kenite
was
at
'
the
terebinth
in
Z.
which
is
by
Kedesh'
(Jg
4u).
It
is
probable
that
the
preposition
'in'
(6e
in
Heb.)
is
part
of
the
name,
which
should
then
be
read
Bezaanannim.
The
site
is
unknown.
A
plausible
conjecture
is
that
it
was
Khirbet
Bessum,
E.
of
Mt.
Tabor.

Many
names
are
derived
from
this
root,
both
in
OT
and
in
Palmyrene
and
Nabataean
inscriptions.
About
36
are
reckoned
in
OT
—
23
in
Chron.,
and
nearly
all
in
post-exilic
books.
In
Gn
302°«
it
is
the
first
explanation
of
'Zebulun.'
The
fuller
form
is
Zabdiel
or
Zebadiah
('my

—
The
name

Accord-ing
to
the
account

its
home
was
to

Perhaps

represents
the
ancient

2.
A
'chief
publican'
of
Jericho
who
entertained
our
Lord
(Lk
19'-'°).
He
was
a
rich
man,
a
Jew
(v.«),
of
a
higher
grade
than
St.
Matthew,
but,
like
all
his
class,
hated
by
his
country-
men.
Being
short
of
staturer
he
had
climbed
up
into
a
'fig-mulberry'
tree
to
see
Jesus;
our
Lord
called
him
down
and
invited
Himself
to
his
house.
On
hearing
the
murmuring
of
the
people
at
the
distinction
conferred
on
a
publican,
Zacchseus
justifies
himself.
Jesus
passes
this
by,
but
in
effect
replies
to
the
murmurers:
'
If
he
is
a
sinner,
I
have
come
to
save
him.'

8.
Husband
of
Elisabeth,
and
father
of
John
the
Baptist,
a
priest
of
the
course
of
Abijah
(Lk
1')
—
this
was
one
of
the
twenty-four
courses
of
priests,^
—
but
clearly
not
the
high
priest,
as
the
Apocryphal
Gospel
called
Protevangdion
makes
him
(§8).
As
he
was
ministering
in
his
turn
in
the
Temple,
the
angel
Gabriel
appeared
to
him
and
predicted
the
birth
and
future
work
of
his
son.
His
disbelief
was
punished
by
dumbness,
which
was
cured
only
on
the
child
being
brought
to
be
circumcised
and
named;
when
in
obedience
to
Gabriel's
command
he
and
Elisa-beth
insisted
that
he
should
be
called
John.
Under
the
inspiration
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
Zacharias
composed
the
Benedictua.
We
know
nothing
more
of
him.
9.
The
martyr
mentioned
by
our
Lord
in
Mt
2335,
ljj
usi.
The
reference
is
clearly
to
the
death
of
Zechariah,
son
of
Jehoiada
(2
Ch
242»-k);
and
as
Chronicles
was
the
last
book
of
the
Jewish
canon,
the
phrase
'from
Abel
to
Zechariah
'
would
be
equivalent
to
our
'
from
Genesis
to
Revelation.'
In
Mt.,
however,
Zachariah
is
called
'son
of
Barachiah,'
and
there
is
thus
a
confusion
with
Zechariah
the
prophet,
whose
father
was
Berechiah
(Zee
1').
Allen
('St.
Matthew'
in
ICC,
p.
250)
thinks
that
the
confusion
was
due
to
the
tradition
of
the
age.
It
is
more
likely
to
be
due
to
the
Evangelist,
or,
still
more,
