en-ganÂ´im (×¢×™×Ÿ ×’Ö¼× Ö¼×™×, â€›eÌ„n gannÄ±Ì„m, â€œspring of gardensâ€):

(1) A town in the territory of Judah, named with Zanoah and Eshtaol (). It is probably identical with the modern Umm JÄ±Ì„na, South of Wady esÌ£-SÌ£araÌ„r, not far from Zanoah (ZanuÌ„â€›a).

(2) A town in the lot of Isaachat (), assigned to the Gershonite Levites (). In it is replaced by Anem. It probably corresponds to the Ginnea of Josephus (Ant., XX, vi, 1; BJ, III, iii, 4), and may certainly be identified with the modern JenÄ±Ì„n, a prosperous village on the southern edge of the plain of Esdraelon, with beautiful gardens, fruitful orchards and plentiful supplies of water from the local springs.
