Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Nimrim, The Waters Of ( Isaiah 15:6 , Jeremiah 48:34 ). Named along with Zoar and Horonaim, and must therefore be sought in the S. of Moab. The Onomasticon (‘Nemerim’) places it to the N. of Zoar. The name seems to be found in Wâdy N’meirah , which opens on the E. shore, at Burj en-N’meirah , about three miles from the S. end of the Dead Sea.

(Heb. Nimrim', נַמְרַים ., prob. plur. of Ni/Trah [q.v.], i.e. Limnpidity; according to others, Panthers; Sept. in Isaiah Νεμερείμ v. r. Νεμρείμ and Νεβοίμ ; in Jeremiah Νεβρείμ v. r. Νεβρείν ), a stream or brook (not improbably a stream with pools) within the country of Moab, which is mentioned in the denunciations of that nation uttered, or quoted, by Isaiah (15:6) and Jeremiah (48:34). From the former of these passages it appears to have been famed for the abundance of its grass. It is doubtless the same with the BETH-NIMRAH (See Beth-Nimrah) (q.v.) of Numbers 32:36. A name resembling Nimrim still exists at the south-eastern end of the Dead Sea, in the Wady en-Nemeirah and Burj en-Nemeirah, which are situated on the beach, about half-way between the southern extremity and the promontory of el-Lissan (De Saulcy, Voyage, 1:284, etc.; Seetzen, 2:354). This may be the Bethnamarim of Eusebius and Jerome. (See Nimrah).
