Subjects in this Topic:
EN-RIMMON (‘spring of [the] pomegranate’).—One of the settlements of the Judahites after the return from the Exile (Neh_11:29). In Jos_15:32 amongst the towns assigned to Judah we find ‘Ain and Rimmon,’ and in Jos_19:7 (cf. 1Ch_4:32) amongst those assigned to Simeon are ‘Ain, Rimmon.’ In all these instances there can be littls doubt that we ought to read En-rimmon. En-rimmon is probably to be identified with the modern Umm er-Rumâmin, about 9 miles N. of Beersheba.
