Zanoah was a Judahite town in the Shephelah later rebuilt after exile. It is important because it appears both in the lowland town lists and in Nehemiah's restoration work. First appears in Josh 15:34.1
AI summary: Zanoah's significance lies in continuity through destruction and return. The town belongs to Judah's western lowland map and later contributes people and labor to the rebuilding era. The cross references present Zanoah as a Shephelah settlement of persistence and restoration.1
A town in the low country or shephelah of Judah, near Zorah (Josh. 15:34). It was re-occupied after the return from the Captivity (Neh. 11:30). Zanu’ah in Wady Ismail, 10 miles west of Jerusalem, occupies probably the same site. 3
