ziz ( הצּיץ מעלה , ma‛ălēh ha - cı̄c ; Ἁσαέ , Hasaé , Ἁσισά , Hasisá ): A pass in the wilderness of Judea ( 2 Chronicles 20:16 ) leading from Hazazon-tamar (En-gedi, 2 Chronicles 20:2 ). This is generally identified with Wâdy Ḥaṣaṣa , a valley by which the ancient road from En-gedi runs toward Jerusalem. At any rate, an echo of the ancient name survives here: possibly the actual ascent was the present steep pass from En-gedi to the plateau above. See PEF , Sh XXI .
