PUNON.—A station of the Israelites (Num_33:42-43). Cf. also art. Pinon.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


(See PINON.) Gen_36:41. An Edomite ducal city; the Phoeno of Eusebius and Jerome, the penal abode of convicts sent to labour in the neighbouring copper mines. The Septuagint have Finon. Between Petra and Zoar, probably near the Roman road between them. Seetzen heard of a ruined castle, Fenan (3:17). Phoeno probably lay E. of, not within, Edom; as the Roman road is much to the right of the direct line of march. Punon may coincide with Kala'at Aneizeh, between el Ahsa (Oboth) and Ma'an (Num_33:42). Israel's second last stage before reaching the plains of Moab.

Pu'non. (darkness). One of the halting-places, of the Israelite host, during the last portion of the wandering. Num_33:42-43. By Eusebius and Jerome, it is identified with Phaeno, which contained the copper-mines, so well known at that period, and was situated between Petra and Zoar.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


pū?non (פּוּנן, pūnōn): A desert camp of the Israelites, the second after leaving Mt. Hor (Num_33:42, Num_33:43). Eusebius (Onom 299 85; 123 9) mentions an Idumean village, North of Petra, in the desert, where convicts were mining copper, called Phinon or Phainon. These are doubtless identical. See WANDERINGS OF ISRAEL.

Punon
(Heb. Punon', פוּנֹן, darkness [Gesenius], ore-pit [Fiirst]; Sept. Φινών v. r. Φινώ), a camp station of the Israelites on their journey to Canaan (Num_33:42), on the east side of the mountains of Edom, and perhaps belonging to that district, since a duke Pinon is mentioned (Gen_36:41; 1Ch_1:52) among the chieftains of the Edomites. It lay next beyond Zalmonah, between it and Oboth, and three days' journey from the mountains of Abarim, which formed the boundary of Moab. By Enusebius and Jerome (Onomasticon, Φινῶν, “Fenon”) it is identified with Pinon, the seat of the Edomitish tribe of that name, and, further, with Phoeno, which contained the copper-mines so noted at that period, and was situated between Petra and Zoar; It is often mentioned by other Christian authors (see Gesenius, Thesaur. p. 1095). It is not to be identified with the modern Tufileh (Burckhardt, 2, 677; see Raumer, Zug der Israel, p. 46); but on the Kalaat Phenan of Seetzen (Zach's Monatl. Corresp. 17:137) we must await more particular intelligence. SEE EXODE.
