| <p> '''Sec'acah''' or '''Seca'cah.''' ''(thicket).'' One of the six cities of Judah, which were situated in the Midbar, (''"wilderness"'' ), that is, the tract bordering on the [[Dead]] Sea. Joshua 15:61. Its position is not known. </p> | | Secacah <ref name="term_59695" /> |

| | <p> For this site Lieut. Conder suggests (Tent Work, 2:339) the modern Sikkeh, but he does not indicate the locality. It is thus referred to in the Quar. Statement of the "Pal. Explor. Fund," January 1881, page 55: "In the Judeean desert; possibly the ruin Sikkeh, east of [[Bethany]] (sheet 17)." But no such name appears on the Map nor in the accompanying Memoirs. </p> |

| <p> ''''' sḗ ''''' - ''''' kā´ka ''''' , ''''' sek´a ''''' - ''''' ka ''''' ( סככה , <i> ''''' ṣekhākhāh ''''' </i> ; Codex Vaticanus Αίχιοζά , <i> ''''' Aichiozá ''''' </i> ; Codex Alexandrinus Σοχοχά , <i> ''''' Sochochá ''''' </i> ): One of the six cities "in the wilderness of Judah" ( Joshua 15:61 ), that is in the uncultivated lands to the West of the Dead Sea, where a scanty pasturage is still obtained by wandering Bedouin tribes. There are many signs in this district of more settled habitation in ancient times, but the name Secacah is lost. Conder proposed <i> '''''Khirbet''''' </i> <i> '''''ed''''' </i> <i> '''''Diḳḳeh''''' </i> (also called <i> '''''Khirbet''''' </i> <i> '''''es''''' </i> <i> '''''Siḳḳeh''''' </i> ), "the ruin of the path," some 2 miles South of Bethany. Though an ancient site, it is too near the inhabited area; the name, too, is uncertain ( <i> [[Pef]] </i> , [[Iii,]] 111, Sh Xvii ). </p>

| <p> [many Sec' acoh ] (Heb. Sekakah', סְכָכָה '', thicket;'' Sept. Σοχοχά v.r. Αἰοχιόζα; Vulg. ''Sechacha, or Sachacha'' )'','' one of the six cities of Judah situated in the Midbar (" wilderness"), that is, the tract bordering ou the Dead Sea ( Joshua 15:61). It occurs in the list between [[Middin]] and han- Nibshan. It was not known to [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] (''Onomast.'' )''.'' From Sinjii, among the highlands of Ephraim, near Seilfin, Dr. Robinson saw a place called ''Sekakeh'' (''Bib. Res.'' ii, 8l, note); but this locality is, of course, out of the question. The place possibly corresponds to the site of ''Kusr Altar,'' one of two ruined towers on [[Wady]] Khureitun (Robinson, ''Bib. Res.'' ii: 182). </p>
