Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tsoan, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and Egyptian geography. However, references to Egypt in the Greek Septuagint may indirectly relate to the context in which Tsoan is mentioned. Usage: Tsoan is mentioned in the context of its significance as a prominent city in Egypt, often associated with the land of Goshen and the events surrounding the Exodus. Context: Tsoan, known in the Egyptian context as Tanis, was an ancient city located in the northeastern Nile Delta. It served as a significant political and cultural center in ancient Egypt. The city is mentioned several times in the Hebrew Bible, highlighting its importance during the time of the Exodus and the period of the prophets. In the Bible, Tsoan is noted for its wisdom and as a place where the princes of Egypt resided. It is referenced in the context of the plagues of Egypt, as seen in Psalm 78:12, "He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan." The city is also mentioned in Isaiah 19:11, where the wisdom of its princes is questioned: "The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice." Tsoan's historical and geographical significance is underscored by its proximity to the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived during their sojourn in Egypt. The city's ruins today are located near the modern village of San el-Hagar.
