En-Gannim

Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature

En-Gan´nim (gardens' fountain).

1. A town of Judah (), which Jerome places near Bethel.

2. A Levitical city in Issachar (; ), probably the same as the Ginaen of Josephus (Antiq. xx. 6, 1), and which Biddulph (in Purchas, vol. ii, p. 135) identifies with the present Jenin, a town 15 miles south of Mount Tabor, and which he and others describe as still a place of gardens and abundant water.

3. Jerome mentions another place, called En-gannim, beyond the Jordan, near Geraza; and the name seems, indeed, to have been very common for places where water, and consequently gardens, abounded.
