Yenoam Explained

Yenoam or Yanoam is a place in ancient Canaan, or in Syria, known from ancient Egyptian regnal sources from the time of Thutmose III to Ramesses III.^[1] One such source is a stela of Seti I found in Beit She'an. Another is the Merneptah Stele.

The location of Yenoam is a matter of speculation. Suggested sites include:

• Tell Shihab in the Yarmouk Valley in southern Syria,
• Tell Na'ama (Na'ameh) in the Hula Valley,
  • Tell Na'am (en-Naam) near Yavne'el Tell ʿUbeidiya in the Jordan Valley.^[2]

It has been tentatively associated with the biblical city of Janohah (Hebrew: ינוח|{{smallcaps|ynwḥ).^[1]
