<p> ( '''''Ἀμάν''''' ), the Graecized' form ( Tobit 14:10; Esther 10:7, etc.) of the name HAMAN (See Haman) (q.v.). </p> <p> Ama'na [many Am'ana] (Hebrew Amanahah', '''''אֲמָנָה''''' '','' a ''Covenant,'' as in Nehemiah 10:1), the name of a river and of a hill. </p> <p> '''1.''' The marginal reading (of many codices, with the Syriac, the Targum, and the Complutensian ed. of the Sept.) in 2 Kings 5:12, of the stream near [[Damascus]] called in the text ABANA (See [[Abana]]) (q.v.). </p> <p> '''2.''' (Sept. '''''Πίστις''''' '','' Vulg. ''Amana.)'' A mountain mentioned in Song of [[Solomon]] 4:8, in connection with [[Shenir]] and Hermon, as the resort of wild beasts. Some have supposed it to be Mount ''Amanus'' in Cilicia, to which the dominion of Solomon is alleged to have extended northward. But the context, with other circumstances, leaves little doubt that this Mount [[Amana]] was rather the southern part or summit of Anti-Libanus, and was so called perhaps from containing the sources of the river Amana or ABANA (See Abana) (q.v.). The rabbins, indeed, call Mount [[Lebanon]] various names (Reland, Paloest. p. 320), among which appears that of Amanon ( '''''אֲמָנוֹן''''' , ''Gittin,'' fol. 8, 1, v. r. '''''וּמָנוּס''''' , ''Umanus,'' or Matthew Hor, according to Buxtorf, ''Lex. Talm.'' col. 117). </p> | |||

<p> ''''' ā´man ''''' ( Ἀμάν , <i> ''''' Amán ''''' </i> ; Codex Vaticanus reads Ἀδάμ , <i> ''''' Adám ''''' </i> ): [[Tobit]] 14:10; Additions to Esther 12:6; 16:10, 17, probably in each case for Haman, the arch-enemy of the [[Jews]] in the canonical Book of Esther (compare Esther 3:1 with Additions to Esther 12:6). In Additions to Esther (16:10) [[Aman]] is represented as a Macedonian, in all other points corresponding to the Haman of the Book of Esther. </p> | |||
