Enaim

VIEW:49 DATA:01-04-2020

ENAIM.—A Jud¿an town in the Shephçlah (Jos_15:34. ‘Enam’; Gen_38:14, AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘in an open place,’ RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘in the gate of Enaim’; Gen_38:21, AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘openly,’ RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘at Enaim’). From the narrative in Gen_38:1-30 we gather that it lay between Adullam and Timnah. The site is not identified. Conder suggests Khirbet Wâdy Alin, near Beth-shemesh and En-gannim.

ē̇-nā?im (עינים, ‛ēnayı̄m, ?place of a fountain?; Αἰνάν, Ainán; Gen_38:14 (the King James Version ?in an open place?; Gen_38:21 the King James Version ?openly?)): A place which lay between Adullam and Timnath; probably the same as Enam (Jos_15:34). Also mentioned in close connection with Adullam. It was in the Shephelah of Judah. The Talmud (Pesik̇ Rab. 23) mentions a Kephar Enaim. Conder proposes Khurbet Wady ‛Alı̂n, which is an ancient site, evidently of great strength and importance, lying between Kḣ ‛Ain Shems and the village of Deir Aban. The ruins crown a lofty and almost isolated hill; the greatest objection to the identification is that there is no fountain at all in the immediate neighborhood. There may have been one in earlier times. See PEF, III, 128.
