Enam
עֵינָם/EE-nam/
“Two springs, double spring”
☩Location
Enam was a city in the Shephelah (lowland) of Judah, mentioned between Tappuah and Jarmuth. The name means 'two springs' or 'double spring.' It is very likely the same as Enaim in Genesis 38, where Tamar sat 'in the entrance of Enaim' on the road to Timnath to intercept her father-in-law Judah. Some identify it with ruins at Wady Alin or with Allin near ancient Timnah.
