en -gan´im ( עין גּנּים , ‛ēn gannı̄m , "spring of gardens"):

(1) A town in the territory of Judah, named with Zanoah and Eshtaol (Joshua 15:34 ). It is probably identical with the modern Umm Jı̄na , South of Wady eṣ -Ṣarār , not far from Zanoah (Zanū‛a ).

(2) A town in the lot of Isaachat (Joshua 19:21 ), assigned to the Gershonite Levites (Joshua 21:29 ). In 1 Chronicles 6:73 it is replaced by Anem. It probably corresponds to the Ginnea of Josephus ( Ant. , XX, vi, 1; BJ , III, iii, 4), and may certainly be identified with the modern Jenı̄n , a prosperous village on the southern edge of the plain of Esdraelon, with beautiful gardens, fruitful orchards and plentiful supplies of water from the local springs.
