Used to designate Simon Zelotes, one of the twelve apostles; this name Κανανίτης, Canaanite, is not the same as that of an inhabitant of Canaan, which in the LXX is Καναναῖος. That respecting Simon occurs in
Matthew 10:4
4
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. (Matthew 10:4)
and
Mark 3:18
18
And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite, (Mark 3:18)
; by the other two Evangelists he is styled “Zelotes,” and Κανανίτης (in some copies Καναναῖος) is held to be from the Aramaic
qana
, “to be zealous:” (Compare
Num. 25:11, 13
11
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. (Numbers 25:11)
13
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel. (Numbers 25:13)
).
