Si´nim, a people whose country, 'land of Sinim,' is mentioned only in , where the context implies a remote region, situated in the eastern or southern extremity of the earth. Many Biblical geographers think this may possibly denote the Sinese or Chinese, whose country is Sina, China. This view is not void of probability, but objections to it are obvious and considerable. Some, therefore, think that by the Sinim the inhabitants of Pelusium (Sin) are, by synecdoche, denoted for the Egyptians. But as the text seems to point to a region more distant, others have upheld the claims of the people of Syene, taken to represent the Ethiopians [SYENE].
