EN-RIMMON (‘spring of [the] pomegranate’). One of the settlements of the Judahites after the return from the Exile ( Nehemiah 11:29 ). In Joshua 15:32 amongst the towns assigned to Judah we find ‘Ain and Rimmon,’ and in Joshua 19:7 (cf. 1 Chronicles 4:32 ) amongst those assigned to Simeon are ‘Ain, Rimmon.’ In all these instances there can be littls doubt that we ought to read En-rimmon . En-rimmon is probably to be identified with the modern Umm er-Rumâmin , about 9 miles N. of Beersheba.
