Topical Lexicon 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 corresponding Strong's Greek entries for En-Gannim, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: En-Gannim is used as a proper noun referring to a specific location in the biblical text. It is mentioned as a town in the territory of Issachar and later as a Levitical city. Context: En-Gannim, meaning "fountain of gardens," is a biblical location mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a town within the tribal allotment of Issachar. The name suggests a place of lush vegetation and abundant water sources, indicative of a fertile and well-watered area. En-Gannim is listed among the cities given to the Levites, as recorded in the Book of Joshua. This allocation to the Levites underscores its significance within the tribal structure of ancient Israel, serving as a center for religious and communal life. The town's exact historical and geographical location remains a subject of scholarly research, but it is traditionally associated with the modern site of Jenin in the northern West Bank. The biblical references to En-Gannim highlight its role as a vital settlement in the agrarian society of ancient Israel, providing resources and sustenance to its inhabitants.
