Ziz
VIEW:19 DATA:01-04-2020
ZIZ.The ascent of Ziz is mentioned in 2Ch_20:16 as the way by which the allied Moabites, Ammonites, and Meunim made their way up from En-gedi to attack Jehoshaphat at Jerusalem. It has been identified as an ascent near En-gedi from the plain of the Dead Sea to the tableland of Judah. The Roman road from En-gedi to Jerusalem followed this track.

The cliff of Ziz. The ascent (ma'aleh), or pass, by which the hosts of Moab, Ammon, and the Mehunim, according to the announcement of the prophet Jahaziel, proceeded from the Dead Sea to the wilderness of Judah near Tekoa (2Ch_20:16; 2Ch_20:20); "they come up by the ascent of ha-Ziz, and ye shall find them at the head of the wady"; now the pass of Ain Jidy, the route of Arab marauders to the present day. The name appears in Husasah, the tableland above Ain Jidy, between it and Tekua, and may be related to Hazezon Tamar, the ancient name of Engedi (Ain Jidy). Condor (Palestine Exploration Quarterly Statement, Jan. 1875) identifies Ziz with Khirbet' Aziz. Wady Khubara, the main valley S. of Engedi, runs W. toward this ruin to which the ascent, would be by this watercourse.

Ziz. (the projection). The cliff of Ziz. The pass by which the horde of Moabites, Ammonites and Mehunim made their way up from the shores of the Dead Sea to the wilderness of Judah near Tekoa. 2Ch_20:16 only; compare 2Ch_20:20. It was the pass of Ain Jidy ? the very same route which is taken by the Arabs in their marauding expeditions at the present day.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
Ziz, a cliff or pass leading up from the Dead Sea towards Jerusalem, by which the bands of the Moabites and Ammonites advanced against Jehoshaphat (2Ch_20:16). They seem to have come round the south end of the Dead Sea, and along the western shore as far as Engedi, where there is a pass which leads out northward towards Tekoa. This is the route which is taken by the Arabs in their marauding expeditions at the present-day.

(Heb. with the art. hats-Tsits, הִצַּי, the projection; Sept. Α᾿σαέ v.r. Α᾿σσεῖς; Vulg. Sis), the name of a cliff (מִעֲלֶה, ascent) or pass-by which the band of Moiabites' Ammonites, and Mehunim who attacked Jehoshaphat made. their way up from the shores of the Dead Sea to the wilderness of Judah near Tekoa (2Ch_20:16; comp. 2Ch_20:20). There can be very little doubt that it was the pass of Ain-Jidy the very same route, as Robinson remarks, which is taken by the Arabs in their marauding expeditions at the present day; along the shore as far as to Ain Jidy, and then up the pass, and so northward below Tekua (Bibl. Res. 1, 508,530). The pass, although exceedingly precipitous, is still a great thoroughfare. (Tristram Lanr I Moab. p. 41). The name haz-Ziz may perhaps be still traceable. in el-Hussah, which is attached to a large tract of table-land lying immediately above the pass of Ain Jidy, between it and Tekuia, and bounded on the north by a wady of the same name (Bibl. Res. 1, 527). Lieut. Conder remarks that there is a ruin called Khirs-bet Aziz south of Yutta (Qsar. Statement of the Palest. Explor. Fund, Jan, 1875, p. 15).
