Usage: The term "Amanah" is used in the context of a river or mountain mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the Song of Solomon. Context: Amanah is referenced in the Song of Solomon 4:8, where it is mentioned as part of a poetic description of the beloved's beauty and the grandeur of the landscape. The verse reads: "Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon. Descend from the crest of Amana, from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon, from the lions’ dens and the mountain haunts of leopards." (BSB) In this context, Amanah is likely a mountain or a region associated with the Lebanon range, possibly identified with the modern-day Anti-Lebanon mountains. The mention of Amanah alongside other significant geographical features like Senir and Hermon suggests its importance in the ancient landscape of the Near East. The poetic imagery evokes a sense of majesty and natural beauty, contributing to the romantic and vivid descriptions characteristic of the Song of Solomon.
