Soan
Опис
Soan — (Stari Egip. Sant = “utvrđenje,” savremeni San). Grad na Tanitskom rukavcu Nila, koji su Grci nazivali Tanis. Izgrađen je sedam godina nakon Hebrona u Palestini [Br 13:22 ]. Ovaj veliki i važan grad bio je prestonica Hiksa, ili Pastirskih kraljeva, koji su vladali Egiptom više od 500 godina. Bio je to granični grad Gošena. Ovdje je faraon držao svoj dvor u vrijeme svojih različitih susreta sa Mojsijem i Aronom. “Nema traga Soanu; Tanis je izgrađen preko njega, i grad za gradom je izgrađen preko ruševina tog” (Harper, Biblija i moderno otkriće). Opsežni humci ruševina, olupina drevnog grada, sada označavaju njegovo mesto [Isa 19:11 , Isa 19:13 ; Isa 30:4 ; Jez 30:14 ]. “Cijela struktura čini jedan od najgrandioznijih i najstarijih ruševina na svijetu.”
Ovaj grad je takođe nazivan “Polje Soana” [Ps 78:12 , Ps 78:43 ] i “Grad Ramzes” (vidi), jer ga je tlačitelj obnovio i ukrasio, verovatno prisilnim radom Hebreja, i učinio ga svojom severnom prestonicom.

Zoan
(Old Egypt. Sant = "stronghold," the modern San). A city on the Tanitic branch of the Nile, called by the Greeks Tanis. It was built seven years after Hebron in Palestine (Num 13:22). This great and important city was the capital of the Hyksos, or Shepherd kings, who ruled Egypt for more than 500 years. It was the frontier town of Goshen. Here Pharaoh was holding his court at the time of his various interviews with Moses and Aaron. "No trace of Zoan exists; Tanis was built over it, and city after city has been built over the ruins of that" (Harper, Bible and Modern Discovery). Extensive mounds of ruins, the wreck of the ancient city, now mark its site (Isa 19:11 ; 19:13; 30:4; Ezek 30:14). "The whole constitutes one of the grandest and oldest ruins in the world."
This city was also called "the Field of Zoan" (Ps 78:12 ; 78:43) and "the Town of Rameses" (q.v.), because the oppressor rebuilt and embellished it, probably by the forced labour of the Hebrews, and made it his northern capital.
