It is specifically used in the context of conflict or strife, often arising from adversarial relationships. In the Bible, it is associated with disputes and contention, particularly in relation to territorial or resource-based conflicts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, wells were vital for survival, especially in arid regions. They were often sources of conflict due to their importance for sustaining life and agriculture. The naming of wells often reflected the circumstances surrounding their discovery or the events that transpired there. "Sitnah" reflects the adversarial nature of the disputes over water rights, which were common in the patriarchal narratives of Genesis.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/7854.htm">satan</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"hostility," the name of a well near Gerar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Sitnah (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">שִׂטְנָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name putei</b></font> (<em>hostility</em>) <a href="/interlinear/genesis/26-21.htm">Genesis 26:21</a> (J). <p>[<font class="hebrew2">שִׂיא</font>], <font class="hebrew2">שִׂיאֹן</font> see <font class="hebrew2">נשׂא</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Sitnah <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/7855.htm">sitnah</a>; Sitnah, the name of a well in Pal -- Sitnah. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7855.htm">sitnah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>שִׂטְנָֽה׃ שטנה׃ sitNah<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/genesis/26-21.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Genesis 26:21</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/genesis/26.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמָ֖הּ <b> שִׂטְנָֽה׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/genesis/26.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> it too, so he named <span class="itali">it Sitnah.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/genesis/26.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> the name of it <span class="itali">Sitnah.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/genesis/26-21.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> called of it <span class="itali">Sitnah</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7856.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7856.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7856<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/sitnah_7856.htm">śiṭ·nāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/7855.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7855"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7855" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7857.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7857"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7857" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
