<p> (Heb. Yazunm', '''''יָנוּם''''' '', Slumber,'' otherwise for '''''יָנוּן''''' , propagation; Septuag. '''''Ι᾿Ανούμ''''' v. ''R. '''''Ι᾿Εμαϊ''''' '' v '''''Ν''''' , Vulg. ''Janun),'' a town in the mountains of Judah, mentioned between [[Eshean]] and Beth-tappuah (&nbsp;Joshua 15:53). The Heb. text has '''''יָניּם''''' (das s if ''Anim', '''''יָנַים''''' '' ) by a manifest error, which is corrected in the Masoretic marg.; many copies have ''Yanus','' '''''יָנוּס''''' , flight, as in the Eng. margin '''''‘''''' Janus." The [[Syriac]] version has ''Yalum.'' [[Eusebius]] ''(Onomast.'' s.v. '''''Ι᾿Ανουά''''' ) mentions a place, ''Janua,'' three miles south of Legio, but admits that it cannot be the locality in question. M. de Saulcy ''(Nar.'' 1, 437) thinks the site may possibly be marked by the ruins ''Of Jenheh,'' at the foot of a hill nearly south of Hebron; but, according to Dr. Robinson, the remains are little more than those of caves (Bib. Res. 2, 472). The associated names appear to indicate a district immediately northwest of Hebron (Keil. Comment on Joshua ad loc). The position corresponds with that of a ruined site, Ras Jabreh, marked on the first edition of [[Van]] de Velde's map immediately on' the west of the road directly north from Hebron to Jerusalem, and adjoining Khurbet enl-Nasara; but the second edition of the map omits both these sites, though the latter is explicitly mentioned in the Memoir (p. 247) as "a ruined village" visited by him as well as by Dr. Robinson (Researches, 1, 317). </p>

<p> For this locality Conder suggests (Tent Work, 2:337) the present Beni Naim, which lies three miles east of [[Hebron]] (a position possible, perhaps, for the group of towns with which it is associated in the sacred text), with cisterns in the vicinity, and thus described (from Guerin) in the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey (3:325): </p> <p> "Here I saw in many places ancient materials employed in Arabic buildings. Several fragments of wall still upright in good cut stones attracted my attention. I visited a mosque which covers, according to the tradition of the people, the tomb of Lot. The coffin shown to me consists of a great wooden coffer, covered with a carpet, and probably contains the body of some modern santon revered under the name of Abraham's nephew. Around this sanctuary extends a court surrounded by a square gallery, which is itself enclosed by a wall built of stones belonging to different periods. On one of them distinguished the trace of a mutilated cross, and one of the people told me that the mosque is supposed to have succeeded a [[Christian]] Church. It is at once a sacred edifice and a fortress, for the terraces which cover the gallery are provided with a parapet pierced with loopholes. . . . I was told by the sheik that the place used to be called Kefr Bereik, which confirms Robinson's identification of the place with Jerome's [[Caphar]] Barnebo."' </p>
