En-Eglaim

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

En-Eglaim . A locality on the Dead Sea, mentioned along with En-gedi (  Ezekiel 47:10 ). It has not been identified, but is not improbably ‘Ain Feshkah (Robinson, BRP [Note: RP Biblical Researches in Palestine.] ii. 489). Tristram ( Bible Places , 93) would make it ‘Ain Hajlah (Beth-hoglah). In any case, it probably lay to the N. towards the mouth of the Jordan.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

En-egla'im. (Fountain Of The Two Calves). A place named only by Ezekiel,  Ezekiel 47:10, apparently as on the Dead Sea; but whether near to or far from Engedi , on the east or the west side of the sea, it is impossible to ascertain.

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

("spring of two calves".)  Ezekiel 47:10. On the confines of Moab, over against Engedi, near where Jordan enters the Dead Sea ( Isaiah 15:8). The two limits, Engedi and En-eglaim, comprise the whole Dead Sea.

[many En-egla'imi] (Hebrews Eyn Egla'yim, עֵין עֶגְלִיַם Fountain Of Two Calves, unless for עֵין עֶגְלִיַם , fountain of two pools; Sept. Ε᾿Ναγαλείμ v.r. Εναγαλλείμ ), a place named only by Ezekiel ( Ezekiel 47:10), apparently as on the Dead Sea, but whether near to or far from Engedi, on the west or east side of the sea, it is impossible to ascertain from the text: "The fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even to En-eglaim: they shall be a place to spread forth nets." In his comment on the passage, Jerome places it at the northern end of the Deed Sea, at the influx of the Jordan. M. de Saulcy thinks it identical with AinAjlah, situated towards the northern point of the Dead Sea, between Jericho and the Jordan (Narrative, 1:163). (See Beth- Hoglah). En-eglaim is probably another name for the EGLAIM (See Eglaim) (q.v.) of  Isaiah 15:8.
