Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


JESHIMON.—This word, derived from a Heb. root meaning ‘to be waste or desolate,’ is used either as a common noun (= ‘desert,’ ‘wilderness’) or (with the art., ‘the Jeshimon’) as a proper name (Num_21:20; Num_23:28, 1Sa_23:19; 1Sa_23:24; 1Sa_26:1; 1Sa_26:3). In the latter usage the reference is either to the waste country in the Jordan valley N. of the Dead Sea and east of the river (so apparently in Numbers), or to the eastern part of the hill-country of Judah on the western shore of the Dead Sea (Son_1:1-17 Samam.).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Pisgah and Peor faced the Jeshimon, i.e. the waste; not merely midbar, "a common" rather than a desert (Num_21:20; Num_23:28). The desolate tract skirting the N. and N.W. coasts of the Dead Sea, between the Jordan mouth (near which was Beth-jeshimoth) and Engedi: consisting of chalky crumbling limestone rocks and a fiat covered with nitrous crust, into which the feet sink as in ashes; without vegetation except the hubeibeh, or alkali plant. The hill of HACHILAH was "S. of" or "before" Jeshimon (1Sa_23:19; 1Sa_26:1; 1Sa_26:3.) Eusebius says Jeshimon was ten miles S.of Jericho, near the Dead Sea. "The mid bar ("pastoral common") of Judah" stretched S. of Jeshimon from Engedi southward (Jos_15:61-62).

Jesh'imon. (a wilderness). A name which occurs in Num_21:20 and Num_23:28, in designating the position of Pisgah and Peor; both described as "facing the Jeshimon." Perhaps the dreary, barren waste of hills lying immediately, on the west of the Dead Sea.

jḗ-shē?-mon, jesh?i-mon (הישׁימן, ha-yeshı̄mōn, ?the desert,? and in the Revised Version (British and American) so translated but in the King James Version, Num_21:20; Num_23:28; 1Sa_23:19, 1Sa_23:24; 1Sa_26:1, 1Sa_26:3, ?Jeshimon? as a place-name. In Numbers, the Septuagint reads ἡ ἔρημος, hē érēmos, ?the desert?; in 1 Samuel, the Septuagint reads Ἰεσσαιμόν, Iessaimón): In these passages probably two districts are referred to: (1) The ?desert? North of the Dead Sea, which was overlooked from Pisgah (Num_21:20; Num_23:28). This is the bare and sterile land, saturated with salt, lying on each side of the Jordan North of the Dead Sea, where for miles practically no vegetable life can exist. (2) The sterile plateau West of the steep cliffs bordering the western shores of the Dead Sea. Here between the lower slopes of the Judean hills, where thousands of Bedouin live and herd their flocks, and the more fertile borders of the sea with their oases (‛Ain Feshkhah, ‛Ain Jidy, etc.), is a broad strip of utterly waterless land, the soft chalky hills of which are, for all but a few short weeks, destitute of practically any vegetation. The Hill of Hachilah was on the edge of this desert (1Sa_23:19; 1Sa_26:1, 1Sa_26:3), and the Arabah was to its south (1Sa_23:24). It is possible that the references in Numbers may also apply to this region.
#The word ?Jeshimon? (yeshı̄mōn) is often used as a common noun in referring to the desert of Sinai (Deu_32:10; Psa_78:40; Psa_106:14; Isa_43:19, etc.), and except in the first two of these references, when we have ?wilderness,? it is always translated ?desert.? Although used in 7 passages in poetical parallelism to midhbār, translated ?wilderness,? it really means a much more hopeless place; in a midhbār animals can be pastured, but a yeshı̄mōn is a desolate waste.

Jeshimon
is the rendering in the Auth. Version (Num_21:20; Num_23:28; 1Sa_23:1; 1Sa_23:9; 1Sa_23:24; 1Sa_26:1; 1Sa_26:3) of יְשַׁימוֹן(yeshinon'), which simply denotes a wilderness, as in the margin (so the Sept.), and elsewhere in the text (Deu_22:10; Psa_68:7; “desert;” Psa_78:40; Psa_107:14; Isa_43:16; Isa_43:20, “solitary” way, Psa_107:4).
