Canneh

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Canneh . A town named with Haran and Eden (  Ezekiel 27:23 ), not identified. Mez ( Gesch. der Stadt Harrân , 34) suggests that it may be a clerical error for bÄ•nê , i.e. bÄ•nê Eden , ‘sons of Eden’ (see Guthe, Bibelwörterbuch, s.v .).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

kan´e ( כּנּה , kannēh  ; Χανάα , Chanáa ): Mentioned in  Ezekiel 27:23 in connection with Haran and Eden as one of the places with which Tyre had commercial relations. This is the only reference to the place and the site is unknown. Gesenius and others think it is probably the same as Calneh of   Amos 6:2 or of   Genesis 10:10 , and Calno of  Isaiah 10:9 . According to the Targums, Eusebius, and Jerome, this place is identical with Ctesiphon, which was situated on the Tigris. One codex of De Rossi has made this identification in the passage in  Ezekiel 27:23 . Cornill thinks Canneh is the Calneh of  Amos 6:2 , but Cheyne thinks the name is really non-existent. He says the words rendered "and Canneh and Eden" should rather be "and the sons of Eden."

(Hebrews Kanneh', כִּנֵּה , one codex fully כלנה ; Sept. Χαναά , v. r. Χανάαν ; Vulg. Chene), doubtless a contracted form ( Ezekiel 27:23) for the earlier CALNEH (See Calneh) (q.v.) of  Genesis 10:10.
