Nimrim
Smith's Bible Dictionary [1]
Nim'rim. (Limpid, Pure). The Waters Of Nimrim . A stream or brook within the country of Moab, which is mentioned in the denunciations, of that nation by Isaiah, Isaiah 15:6, and Jeremiah. Jeremiah 48:34. We should, perhaps, look for the site of Nimrim in Moab proper, that is, on the southeastern shoulder of the Dead Sea.
People's Dictionary of the Bible [2]
Nimrim ( Nim'Rim ), from Nimr. Heb.— Leopard, a brook in Moab. Isaiah 16:6; Jeremiah 48:34.

nim´rim ( מי־נמרים , mē nimrı̄m ; Codex Vaticanus Νεβρείν , Nebreı́n ; Codex Alexandrinus Ἐβρίμ , Ebrı́m ( Jeremiah 48:34 ); τὸ ὔδωρ τῆς Νιμρείμ , tó húdōr tḗs Nimreı́m ( Isaiah 15:6 )): The meaning appears to be "pure" or "wholesome water." The name occurs only in Isaiah 15:6 and Jeremiah 48:34 in oracles against Moab. In each case it is mentioned in association with Zoar and Horonaim. It is therefore probably to be sought to the Southeast of the Dead Sea. Eusebius, Onomasticon , places a town, Bennamareim, to the Nimrim of Zoar, and identifies it with the Old Testament "Nimrim," as it seems, correctly. The name is still found in Wâdy Numeireh , opening on the sea at Burj Numeirah , Nimrim of Ghôr eṣ - Ṣāfiyeh . The waters of Nimrim may be sought either in Moiyet Numeirah or in the spring higher up, where lie the ruins of a town in a well-watered and fruitful district (Buhl, GAP , 272).
