Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Senneh" as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, geographical terms in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) may use general terms for cliffs or rocks.

Usage: The term "Senneh" refers to a rocky crag or cliff mentioned in the Bible. It is one of the two cliffs that Jonathan, the son of King Saul, and his armor-bearer passed between during their daring attack on the Philistine garrison.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, geographical features such as cliffs and crags were often used as natural fortifications and strategic military positions. The terrain of the region played a significant role in the military tactics of the time.
