Subjects in this Topic:
EN-HAKKORE (‘spring of the partridge’; cf. 1Sa_26:20, Jer_17:11).—The name of a fountain at Lehi (Jdg_15:19). The narrator (J [Note: Jahwist.] ) of the story characteristically connects hakkôrç with the word yikrâ (‘he called’) of Jdg_15:18, and evidently interprets ‘En-hakkôrç as ‘the spring of him that called.’ The whole narrative is rather obscure, and the tr. [Note: translate or translation.] in some instances doubtful. The situation of En-hakkôrç is also quite uncertain.
