<p> A city of the shephelah or lowland of [[Judah]] (Joshua 15:34). In [[Genesis]] 38:14; Genesis 38:21, read as margin "in the gate (phathach ) of Enaim," instead of "in an open place." It lay on the road from Judah's dwelling place to Timnath. Aben Ezra less probably translates "at the breaking forth of two fountains." [[Conder]] identifies it with Allin, a ruin close to Thamna, now Tibneh, three miles to the E. on an ancient road from Adullam, the very road by which Judah would have come from Adullain to Timnah. The fellahin dialect changes "n" into "l". </p> | |||

<p> (Hebrews with the art. ha-Eynam', הָעֵינָם , doubtless a contraction for </p> <p> הָעֵינִיַם, the two springs; Sept. ᾿Ηνάϊμ v.r. ᾿Ηναείμ and Μαιανί, Vulg. Enaim), a city in the lowlands of Judah, mentioned between [[Tappuah]] and [[Jarmuth]] (Joshua 15:34). From its mention with towns (Jarmuth and [[Eshtaol]] for instance) which are known to have been near Timnath, this is very probably the place in the "entrance" of which (perhaps at a fork of the road) [[Tamar]] sat to intercept her father-in-law on his way to [[Timnath]] (Genesis 38:14), (פֶּתִח עֵינִיַם, pe'thach Eyna'yim, i.e., doorway of Enaim, or the double spring; Sept. αἱ πύλαι Αἰνάν, Vulg. bivium itineris, A.V. "an open place;" comp. Reland, Palest, page 761). [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] (Onomast. s.v. ᾿Ηναίμ, Enaim) state that it was "still a village Betheninm (Βεθενίμ ) near the terebinth;" meaning probably "Abraham's oak," 22 miles S. of [[Jerusalem]] (ib. s.v. Ἀρκώ, Arboch), near [[Hebron]] (Robinson, Res. 2:443). Schwarz in like manner identifies [[Enam]] with "the village Beth-Ani, distant 21 [[English]] miles from Saafir" (Palest. page 102); meaning apparently Beit-Anur, which is laid down on [[Van]] de Velde's [[Map]] at that distance S.W. of Bir es-Zafaraneh, in the region N.E. of Hebron. But this site is appropriated to Beth-anoth (q.v.), with which the similarity of names has doubtless caused these authors to confuse Enam. The place in question lay in the group of cities situated N.W. of Hebron, on the border of the tribe of [[Dan]] (Keil, Comment. on Joshua in loc.). It is perhaps the present Deir el-Butm, with a well adjoining, laid down by Van de Velde (Map) a little beyond Deir Dubibai, N. of Eleutheropolis. </p> | |||
