gē´rooth kim´ham ( גּרוּת כּמהם , gērūth kı̄mhām ): If the reading gērūth is correct, a "lodging-place" or "khan" on the highway to Egypt, may be meant ( Jeremiah 41:17 ). It may have been built by Chimham son of Barzillai; or it may have been named from him as owner of the land on which it stood. But probably with Josephus we should read gidhrōth , "hurdles" or "sheep pens" (Ant. , X, ix, 5).
