gē´rooth kim´ham (גּרוּת כּמה×, geÌ„ruÌ„th kı̄mhaÌ„m): If the reading geÌ„ruÌ„th is correct, a “lodging-place†or “khan†on the highway to Egypt, may be meant (). It may have been built by Chimham son of Barzillai; or it may have been named from him as owner of the land on which it stood. But probably with Josephus we should read gidhroÌ„th, “hurdles†or “sheep pens†(Ant., X, ix, 5).
