| <p> '''''ā´in''''' ( <span> עין </span> , <i> '''''‛ayin''''' </i> , "eye or spring (of water)"): </p> <p> (1) A town in the extreme Northwest corner of Canaan, so named, most probably, from a noted spring in the vicinity ( <span> [[Numbers]] 34:11 </span> ). Thomson and after him Robinson make [[Ain]] the same as <i> '''''‛Ain el''''' </i> - <i> '''''‛Asy''''' </i> , the chief source of the Orontes, some fifteen miles Southwest of Riblah, which, in turn, is about twenty miles Southwest of Emesa (Hums). [[As]] Ain is named in connection with [[Lake]] Gennesaret, some claim that [[Riblah]] of <span> Numbers 34:11 </span> must be another place farther [[South]] and closer to that lake. </p> <p> (2) A L evitical city ( <span> [[Joshua]] 21:16 </span> ) in the [[Negeb]] or southern part of Judah. It was first allotted to the tribe of [[Judah]] ( <span> Joshua 15:32 </span> ) but later to [[Simeon]] ( <span> Joshua 19:7 </span> ). The fact that it is several times named in immediate connection with [[Rimmon]] has lent plausibility to the view that we have here a compound word, and that we should read En-Rimmon, i.e. Ain-Rimmon (see <span> Joshua 15:32 </span> ; <span> Joshua 19:7 </span> ; <span> 1 [[Chronicles]] 4:32 </span> ). [[See]] also [[Ayin]] . </p> | | <p> [[See]] [[Ayin]] . </p> |
