| <p> A town in the '''''Shephelah''''' or "rolling hills" of Judah ( Joshua 15:40). From the same root as Bethlehem, "the house of bread." Now [[El]] Hamam, six miles S.E. of Ajlan or Eglon, in a wheat-producing region. </p> | | Lahmam <ref name="term_47820" /> |

| | <p> is doubtless the present Khurbet el-Lahm, located on the Ordnance Map at two and a half miles south of Beit-Jibrin, and described in the accompanying Memoirs (3:283) as "foundations, heaps of, stones, wells, cisterns, and caverns. The masonry seems probably of Byzantine date, but the site to be older." </p> |

| <p> (Heb. Lachmas', '''''לִחְמָס''''' , prob. an erroneous reading for ''Lachmam','' </p> <p> '''''לִחְמָם''''' , ''Their Bread,'' which is read in some MSS., and which the Vulg. and Auth.Vers. follow, Septuag. '''''Λαμάς''''' ,Vulg. ''Lehemam),'' a city in the plain of Judah, mentioned between [[Cabbon]] and [[Kithlish]] ( Joshua 15:40), probably situated among the [[Philistines]] west of the Highlands of Judaea. A writer in Fairbairn's ''Dictionary,'' s.v., by a series of arguments resting essentially upon the insecure foundation of the mere [[Order]] of the names in Joshua, seeks to identify Lahmam with the ''El-Humam'' mentioned by Smith in the list in Robinson's ''Researches'' (iii, Append. p. 119); but of this place there is no other trace save perhaps the name ''Tell-Imamn'' on Zimmerman's ''Map,'' some six miles to the S.E. of the vicinity of the other associated names, and apparently out of the bounds of the group, if not of the tribe itself. Lahmam is possibly the present ''Beit-Lehia,'' a short distance N.E. of [[Gaza]] (Robinson, 3:Append. p. 118; [[Van]] de Velde, ''Memoir,'' p. 115). </p>
