Isaiah 10:30
Verse 30. Cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anothoth-"Hearken unto her, O Laish; answer her, O Anathoth!"] I follow in this the Syriac Version. The prophet plainly alludes to the name of the place, and with a peculiar propriety, if it had its name frown its remarkable echo. " anathoth, responsiones: eadem ratio nominis, quae in beith anath, locus echus; nam hodienum ejus rudera ostenduntur in valle, scil. in medio montium, ut referent Robertus in Itiner. p. 70, et Monconnysius, p. 301." Simonis Onomasticon Vet. Test.-L. Anathoth-Answers, replies; for the same reason that Bethany, beith anath, had its name, the house of echo; the remains of which are still shown in the valley, i.e., among the mountains.
