The desolate tract skirting the N. and N.W. coasts of the [[Dead]] Sea, between the [[Jordan]] mouth (near which was Beth-jeshimoth) and Engedi: consisting of chalky crumbling limestone rocks and a fiat covered with nitrous crust, into which the feet sink as in ashes; without vegetation except the hubeibeh, or alkali plant. The hill of [[Hachilah]] was "S. of" or "before" [[Jeshimon]] ( 1 Samuel 23:19; 1 Samuel 26:1; 1 Samuel 26:3.) [[Eusebius]] says Jeshimon was ten miles S.of Jericho, near the Dead Sea. "The mid bar ("pastoral common") of Judah" stretched S. of Jeshimon from [[Engedi]] southward ( Joshua 15:61-62). </p> | ||

<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> JESHIMON </strong> . This word, derived from a Heb. root meaning ‘to be waste <em> or </em> desolate,’ is used either as a common noun (= ‘desert,’ ‘wilderness’) or (with the art., ‘ <em> the </em> Jeshimon’) as a proper name ( Numbers 21:20; Numbers 23:28 , 1Sa 23:19; 1 Samuel 23:24; 1 Samuel 26:1; 1 Samuel 26:3 ). In the latter usage the reference is either to the waste country in the Jordan valley N. of the Dead Sea and <em> east </em> of the river (so apparently in Numbers), or to the eastern part of the hill-country of Judah on the <em> western </em> shore of the Dead Sea ( Song of [[Solomon]] 1:1-17 Samam.). </p> | ||

<p> '''Jesh'imon.''' ''( | <p> '''Jesh'imon.''' ''(A Wilderness).''
