However, the Greek term for "book" is βιβλίον (biblion), which is conceptually related to "Sepher."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name "Kiriath Sannah" translates to "City of the Palm," while "Kiriath Sepher" translates to "City of the Book." These names refer to the same location, a city in the hill country of Judah. The dual names suggest a place of significance, possibly related to learning or trade.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Kiriath Sepher, also known as Debir, was a Canaanite city captured by the Israelites during their conquest of the Promised Land. It was located in the southern part of Judah's territory. The city is notable for its association with Othniel, who captured it and received Caleb's daughter, Achsah, as a reward (Joshua 15:15-17; Judges 1:11-13). The name "City of the Book" may imply a center of learning or a repository of records, suggesting its cultural importance in the ancient Near East.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7151.htm">qiryah</a> and <a href="/hebrew/5612.htm">sepher</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"city of writing," a city in Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Kiriath-sannah (1), Kiriath-sepher (4).<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> <font class="hebrew2">קִרְיַתסֵֿ֫פֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">πόλις</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">τῶν</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">γραμμάτων</font>, + (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>B</sup> <a href="/interlinear/judges/1-11.htm">Judges 1:11</a>) <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Καριασσωφαρ</font>: ancient name of <font class="hebrew2">דְּבִיר</font> (see II. <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2c</b></font>) (perhaps <font class="hebrew2">סֹֿפֵר</font><font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ק</font> <em>scribe-town</em>, compare <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> above also <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font> and Egyptian <i><em>Bai-ti¾u-pa-ïra</em></i>, <em>house of scribe</em>, WMM<sup>As.u.Eur.174</sup> Buhl<sup>Geogr.274</sup>, compare GFM<sup>Ju</sup>);
