<p> (Heb. Ashnah', אִשְׁנָה, '' | <p> (Heb. Ashnah', אִשְׁנָה, ''Fortified,'' otherwise ''Bright;'' Sept. Ἀσνά )'','' the name of two cities, both in the "plain" of the tribe of Judah. </p> <p> '''1.''' One mentioned between [[Zorah]] and [[Zanoah]] ( Joshua 15:33), apparently in the region north of [[Eleutheropolis]] and west of Jerusalem (see Keil, ''Comment.'' in loc.), and near the boundary-line, almost within the territory afterward assigned to Dan (see Joshua 19:41), and probably near Beth-Shemesh, possibly at the site of the modern "large village Deir Aban" (Robinson, Researches, new ed. iii 154). It is probably the Asan (Ἀσάν ) or ''Bethasan'' (Θηβασά ) placed I y [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] ''(Onomast.'' s.v.) at 15 or 16 Roman miles west of Jerusalem. </p> <p> '''2.''' Another town, certainly in Judah, mentioned between Jiphtah and [[Nezib]] ( Joshua 15:43); apparently in the region immediately south and east of Eleutheropolis (comp. Keil, ''Comment.'' in loc.), probably not very far from this last; possibly the present ''Beit Alanm,'' a ruined village on a low mound (Robinson, ''Researches.'' ii, 403). Eusebius and Jerome also speak of an ''Asna'' (Ἀσνά, Onomast. s.v.), but without any particulars. </p> | ||
