ÆNON.Joh_3:23, meaning springs; a site near Salim [wh. see].
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
Near Salim, where John baptized (Joh_3:22-23; Joh_3:26; compare Joh_1:28), W. of Jordan. The name ("springs") implies" there was much water there." Robinson found a Salim E. of Nabulus, or Shechem, with two copious springs: compare Gen_33:18. This would require Aenon to be far W. of Jordan; it agrees with this that, had it been near Jordan, John would scarcely have remarked that "much water" was there: but if far from the river, it explains how the plentiful water at AEnon was convenient for baptisms.
There is an Ainun still near Shechem or Nabloos, with many beautiful streams and brooks. Ainun is as distant N. of the springs (three or four miles) as Salim is S. of them. The valley is called the wady Farah. (See SALIM.) The Ainun site is on the main line from Jerusalem to Nazareth. Here most probably, at the upper source of the wady Farah stream, between Salim and Ainun, was John's Aenon. The Palestine explorer, Lieut. Conder, confirms this; moreover, this would explain Joh_4:4, "Jesus must needs go through Samaria; ... one soweth and another reapeth," etc. (Joh_4:37-38.) John the Baptist, the forerunner, prepared the way in Samaria; Jesus and His disciples must needs follow up by preaching the gospel there.

AE'non. (springs). A place "near to Salim," at which John baptized. Joh_3:23. It was evidently west of the Jordan, compare Joh_3:22 with Joh_3:26 and with Joh_1:28, and abounded in water. It is given in the Omomasticon as eight miles south of Scythopolis "near Salem and the Jordan."

ē?non (Αἰνών, Ainō̇n): The place where John was baptizing ?because there was much water there? (Joh_3:23). it was on the west side of the Jordan, the place where John baptized at the first being on the east (Joh_1:28; Joh_3:26; Joh_10:40). We may be sure it was not in Samaritan territory. Eusebius, Onomasticon locates it 8 Roman miles South of Scythopolis (Beisān), this stretch of land on the west of the Jordan being then, not under Samaria, but under Scythopolis. its position is defined by nearness to Salim. Various identifications have been suggested, the most probable being the springs near Umm el-‛Amdān, which exactly suit the position indicated by Eusebius, Onomasticon. See discussion under SALIM.

?non, fountain; the name of a place near Salem, where John baptized (Joh_3:23); the reason given, 'because there was much water there,' would suggest that he baptized at the springs from which the place took its name.

AEnon
(Αἰνών, from Chald. עֵינָוָן Enavan, fountains; Buxtorf, Lex. Talm. col. 1601), the name of a place near Salim, where John baptized (Joh_3:23); the reason given, because there was much water (ὕδατα πολλά, many waters) there, would suggest that he baptized at the springs from which the place took its name. Eusebius (Onomast. s.v.) places it eight Roman miles south of Scythopolis (Bethshean), and fifty-three north-east of Jerusalem; and it was evidently (comp. Joh_3:26 with 1:28) on the west side of the Jordan (contrary to Kuinol and Lampe in loc.; after Zorn, De AEnone, in his Olpusc. 2, 71-94; also in Ugolini Thesaur. 7), but not necessarily in Judaea (as Wieseler, Chronol. Synop. p. 248). See the curious speculations of Lightfoot (Cent. Chorog. 1, 2, 3, 4). Dr. Robinsons most careful search, on his second visit (new ed. of Researches, 3, 333), failed to discover any trace of either name or remains in the locality indicated by Eusebius; but a Salim has been found by him to the east of and close to Nablus, where there are two very copious springs (ib. 2, 279; 3, 298). This position agrees with the requirements of Gen_33:18. SEE SHALEM. In favor of its distance from the Jordan is the consideration that, if close by the river, the evangelist would hardly have drawn attention to the much water there. Dr. Barclay is disposed to locate AEnon at Wady Farah, a secluded valley about five miles to the N.E. of Jerusalem, running into the great Wady Fowar immediately above Jericho; but the only grounds for this identification are the copious springs and pools with which W. Farah abounds, and also the presence of the name Selam or Seleim, the appellation of another valley close by (City of the Great King, p. 558-570). See SALIM.
