Zaanaim
Template:Short description Zaanaim, Zaanannim or Bezaanaim is a place name applied to one or two locations in the Hebrew Bible.<ref name="FreedmanMyers2000">Template:Cite book</ref> According to Serge Frolov (2013), its location "cannot be determined with any degree of certainty."<ref name="Frolov2013">Template:Cite book</ref>
The area was likely given the name Zaanaim because nomads camped there in tents among the towns and cities, with the name meaning "wanderings" or "the unloading of tents."<ref>Template:Cite book </ref>
According to Joshua 19:33, the border of the tribe of Naftali passed by the "oak in Zaanannim" (Revised Version).
According to Judges 4:11, Heber the Kenite's tent, in which Jael killed Sisera, was "as far as the oak in Zaanannim" (Revised Version). Where the Revised Version reads "oak," the King James Version reads "plain." According to Cheyne and Black, an acceptable alternative reading for "oak" in these passages is "terebinth".<ref name="CheyneBlack1903">Template:Cite book</ref>
Where the Revised Version has "in Zaanannim" above, the Hebrew text reads bṣʿnnym.<ref name="CheyneBlack1903"/> It has been, however, suggested by some that, following the Septuagint<ref>For the Septuagint's reading (Besemiin or Besenanim), see the New English Translation of the Septuagint at Joshua (Iesous) 19:33 [1].</ref> and the Talmud, the letter "b", which in Hebrew means "in," should be taken as a part of the word following, and the phrase would then be "unto the oak of Bitzanaim," a place which has been identified with the ruins of Bessum, about half-way between Tiberias and Mount Tabor.
