Where Zoan appears in Scripture
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ בַנֶּגֶב וַיָּבֹא עַד-חֶבְרוֹן וְשָׁם אֲחִימַן שֵׁשַׁי וְתַלְמַי יְלִידֵי הָֽעֲנָק וְחֶבְרוֹן שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים נִבְנְתָה לִפְנֵי צֹעַן מִצְרָֽיִם׃
And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
נֶגֶד אֲבוֹתָם עָשָׂה פֶלֶא בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם שְׂדֵה-צֹֽעַן׃
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
אֲשֶׁר-שָׂם בְּמִצְרַיִם אֹֽתוֹתָיו וּמוֹפְתָיו בִּשְׂדֵה-צֹֽעַן׃
How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
אַךְ-אֱוִלִים שָׂרֵי צֹעַן חַכְמֵי יֹעֲצֵי פַרְעֹה עֵצָה נִבְעָרָה אֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ אֶל-פַּרְעֹה בֶּן-חֲכָמִים אֲנִי בֶּן-מַלְכֵי-קֶֽדֶם׃
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellers of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
נֽוֹאֲלוּ שָׂרֵי צֹעַן נִשְּׁאוּ שָׂרֵי נֹף הִתְעוּ אֶת-מִצְרַיִם פִּנַּת שְׁבָטֶֽיהָ׃
The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
כִּֽי-הָיוּ בְצֹעַן שָׂרָיו וּמַלְאָכָיו חָנֵס יַגִּֽיעוּ׃
For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִי אֶת-פַּתְרוֹס וְנָתַתִּי אֵשׁ בְּצֹעַן וְעָשִׂיתִי שְׁפָטִים בְּנֹֽא׃
And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
