shē´shı̄ ( שׁשיּ , shēshay ): One of the sons of Anak, perhaps an old Hebronite clan name. (Sayce combines the name with Šasu , the root שסה , the Egyptian name for the Syrian Bedouins.) The clan lived in Hebron at the time of the conquest and was expelled by Caleb ( Numbers 13:22 , Codex Vaticanus Σεσσεί , Sesseı́ ; Codex Alexandrinus Σεμεί , Semeı́ ; Joshua 15:14 , Codex Vaticanus Σουσεί , Souseı́ ; Codex Alexandrinus Σουσαί , Sousaı́ ; Judges 1:10 , Codex Vaticanus Σεσσεί , Sesseı́ ; Codex Alexandrinus Γεθθί , Geththı́ ).
