(nihm' rihm) Place name meaning, “leopards” or “basins of clear waters.” The name occurs in the phrase “Waters of Nimrim” (Isaiah 15:6; Jeremiah 48:34 ), the stream upon which Moab's agricultural productivity depended. The stream is either the wadi en-Numeirah which flows east into the Dead Sea about eight miles north of its lower end or the wadi Nimrin which flows east into the Jordan eight miles north of its mouth.
