Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Cana, the name may be related to the Hebrew root קָנֶה (qaneh), meaning "reed" or "stalk," which is Strong's Hebrew #7070.

Usage:Cana is a town in Galilee mentioned in the New Testament. It is most famously known as the site of Jesus' first miracle, where He turned water into wine at a wedding feast (John 2:1-11). Cana is also referenced in connection with Nathanael, one of Jesus' disciples, who is described as being from Cana in Galilee (John 21:2).

Cultural and Historical Background:Cana was a small village in the region of Galilee during the time of Jesus. The exact location of Cana is debated among scholars, with several sites in modern-day Israel proposed as the historical Cana. The town's mention in the context of a wedding feast highlights the cultural importance of marriage celebrations in Jewish society, which were significant social events often lasting several days.

Robinson, Biblical Researches, ii. 346f; also his Later Biblical Researches, p. 108; cf. Ewald, Gesch.

STRONGS NT 2580a: ΚαναναῖοςΚαναναῖοςLTTrWH inMatthew 10:4 andMark 3:18 (forRGΚανανίτης, which see); according to the interpretation of Bleek (Erklär. d. drei ersten Evv. i., p. 417), et al.a native of Cana (seeΚανά); but then it ought to be writtenΚαναιος. The readingΚαναναῖος seems to be a clerical error occasioned by the precedingΘαδδαῖος (orΛεββαῖος); cf. Fritzsche onMatthew 10:4. (But(αιος is a common ending of the Grecized form of names of sects (cf.Ἀσσιδαιος,Φαρισαῖος,Σαδδουκαῖος,Ἐσσαιος). Hence, the word is probably derived from the Aramaicקַנְאָן (see next word) and corresponds toζηλωτής, which see (cf.Luke 6:15;Acts 1:13). SeeLightfoot Fresh Revision etc., p. 138f.)
