Oak Of Meonenim [1]

mḗ - on´ḗ - nim , mḗ - ō´nḗ - nim  : ( מעוננים אלון , 'ēlōn me‛ōnenı̄m  ; Codex Vaticanus, Ἠλωνμαωνεμείν , Ēlōnmaōnemeı́n , Codex Alexandrinus, δρυὸς ἀποβλεπόντων , druós apoblepóntōn  ; the King James Version Plain of ): This was a sacred tree which apparently could be seen from the gate of Shechem ( Judges 9:37 ). No doubt it took its name from the soothsayers who sat under it, practicing augury, etc. Several times mention is made of sacred trees in the vicinity of Shechem ( Genesis 35:4; Joshua 24:26; Judges 9:6 , etc.). Where this tree stood is not known. See &AUGURS' Oak .
