| Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion, and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cades-barne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.

There was a city of the same name, the capital of Acrabathene, (1 Machabees 3:3.) not far from Petra. --- Senna, a town of the desert of Zin, (Calmet) or a mountain specified. (Judges 1:36.) (St. Jerome) --- Adar. Hebrew, "Hasor Adar." But they seem to be two distinct towns, Josue 15:3. --- Asemona. See (Numbers 33:30.)
