The name probably means the "firm," or "constant." "From the top of Amana" is mistranslated by the [[Septuagint]] ἀπὸ ἀρχῆς πιστεως , <i> '''''apó archḗs pı́steōs''''' </i> ̌ . The Amana is most naturally sought in the Anti-Lebanon, near the course of the river Abana, or Amana (see Abanah ). Another possible identification is with Mt. Amanus in the extreme north of Syria. </p> | ||
