3429. 'And he called the name of it Sitnah' means their essential nature. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3241, and from the meaning of 'Sitnah' in the original language as hostility, which is a further degree of denial.
