Usage: This proper noun refers to a location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Enajim, also known as Enam, is a place mentioned in the biblical narrative found in Genesis 38:14. It is the location where Tamar, the daughter-in-law of Judah, sat by the road to Timnah. The name Enajim suggests a place characterized by springs or fountains, which was a common feature in the naming of locations in ancient Israel due to the importance of water sources. The exact geographical location of Enajim is not definitively known today, but it is traditionally associated with the region of Judah. The narrative involving Enajim is significant in the genealogy of the tribe of Judah, as it leads to the birth of Perez and Zerah, ancestors of King David.
