Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for סְנוּאָה (Senuah) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: The term סְנוּאָה (Senuah) is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: סְנוּאָה (Senuah) appears in the context of genealogical records in the Old Testament. It is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah, where it is associated with a family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile. The name is found in Nehemiah 11:9, where it refers to a leader of the people who resettled in Jerusalem after the exile. The passage reads: "Joel son of Zichri was the officer over them, and Judah son of Hassenuah was over the Second District of the city." (Nehemiah 11:9, BSB). This indicates that Senuah was a notable family or individual involved in the reestablishment of the community in Jerusalem during the post-exilic period. The name itself, derived from a root meaning "to hate," may suggest a historical or cultural significance, possibly indicating a person or family that was once marginalized or faced adversity.
