Qireyat Sanah

Sepher

A toponym denoting a specific locality in the southern hill country associated with the tribe of Judah, rendered as 'Qiryat Sanah'—potentially meaning 'City of Sanah' or, via alternative tradition, 'City of the Book.' The term designates a specific settlement referred to both as 'Qiryath-Sannah' and, in variant tradition, 'Qiryat Sepher.' Semantic range includes the use as a geographic place name, with possible explanatory nuance tied to the meaning of the second element (either related to branches or to books/scrolls).
