Context: En-Rimmon is a place mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the post-exilic period. It is identified as a town in the territory of Judah. The name suggests a location characterized by a spring or fountain associated with pomegranates, which were common in the region and often symbolized fertility and abundance.

In the Bible, En-Rimmon is mentioned in Nehemiah 11:29, where it is listed among the settlements of the people of Judah after the return from Babylonian exile. The passage reads: "Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; Lachish and its fields; and Azekah and its villages. So they settled from Beersheba all the way to the Valley of Hinnom."

The location of En-Rimmon is traditionally associated with the southern part of Judah, near the Negev desert. It is often identified with the modern site of Khirbet Umm er-Ramamin, although exact identification remains uncertain. The mention of En-Rimmon in the context of resettlement highlights its significance as part of the restoration of the Jewish community in their ancestral land.
