Strong's Lexicon En Gannim: En Gannim Original Word: עֵין גַּנִּים Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עַיִן (ayin) meaning "spring" or "fountain" and גַּן (gan) meaning "garden." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for En Gannim, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of a "garden" or "spring" can be related to Greek words such as κῆπος (kēpos) for "garden" and πηγή (pēgē) for "spring" or "fountain." Usage: En Gannim means "Fountain of Gardens" or "Spring of Gardens." It is used in the Bible as a place name, indicating a location characterized by abundant water and lush vegetation, likely making it a fertile and desirable area. Cultural and Historical Background: En Gannim was a town allotted to the tribe of Issachar in the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The name suggests a place of natural beauty and agricultural productivity, which would have been significant in the agrarian society of ancient Israel. The presence of a spring or fountain would have been crucial for sustaining life and agriculture, making it a valuable location.
