<p> (See [[Pinon]] .) &nbsp;Genesis 36:41. An [[Edomite]] ducal city; the Phoeno of [[Eusebius]] and Jerome, the penal abode of convicts sent to labour in the neighbouring copper mines. The [[Septuagint]] have '''''Finon''''' . Between [[Petra]] and Zoar, probably near the Roman road between them. Seetzen heard of a ruined castle, Fenan (3:17). Phoeno probably lay E. of, not within, Edom; as the Roman road is much to the right of the direct line of march. [[Punon]] may coincide with ''Kala'At Aneizeh'' , between el Ahsa (Oboth) and Ma'an (&nbsp;Numbers 33:42). Israel's second last stage before reaching the plains of Moab. </p>

<p> (Heb. Punon', '''''פוּנֹן''''' '', Darkness'' [Gesenius], ''Ore-Pit'' [Fiirst]; Sept. '''''Φινών''''' v. r. '''''Φινώ''''' ) '','' a camp station of the Israelites on their journey to [[Canaan]] (&nbsp;Numbers 33:42), on the east side of the mountains of Edom, and perhaps belonging to that district, since a duke Pinon is mentioned (&nbsp;Genesis 36:41; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:52) among the chieftains of the Edomites. It lay next beyond Zalmonah, between it and Oboth, and three days' journey from the mountains of Abarim, which formed the boundary of Moab. By Enusebius and [[Jerome]] ( ''Onomasticon, '''''Φινῶν''''' ,'' "Fenon") it is identified with ''Pinon,'' the seat of the Edomitish tribe of that name, and, further, with ''Phoeno,'' which contained the copper-mines so noted at that period, and was situated between Petra and Zoar; It is often mentioned by other [[Christian]] authors (see Gesenius, ''Thesaur.'' p. 1095). It is not to be identified with the modern Tufileh (Burckhardt, 2, 677; see Raumer, ''Zug Der Israel,'' p. 46); but on the ''Kalaat Phenan'' of Seetzen (Zach's ''Monatl. Corresp.'' 17:137) we must await more particular intelligence. (See [[Exode]]). </p>

<p> ''''' pū´non ''''' ( פּוּנן , <i> ''''' pūnōn ''''' </i> ): A desert camp of the Israelites, the second after leaving Mt. [[Hor]] (&nbsp; Numbers 33:42 , &nbsp;Numbers 33:43 ). Eusebius ( <i> Onom </i> 299 85; 123 9) mentions an Idumean village, North of Petra, in the desert, where convicts were mining copper, called Phinon or Phainon. These are doubtless identical. See [[Wanderings Of Israel]] . </p>
