Usage: The term "Nimrim" is used in the context of a geographical location, particularly in the prophetic books of the Old Testament. It is mentioned in relation to the desolation and judgment upon Moab.

Context: Nimrim is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the prophetic books of Isaiah and Jeremiah. It is associated with a stream or waters, indicating a place that was once fertile and well-watered. In Isaiah 15:6, the "waters of Nimrim" are described as desolate, symbolizing the devastation that would come upon Moab. Similarly, in Jeremiah 48:34, the cry of desolation reaches the waters of Nimrim, further emphasizing the theme of judgment and destruction. The exact location of Nimrim is not definitively known, but it is generally believed to be situated in the region of Moab, east of the Jordan River. The imagery of drying waters serves as a powerful metaphor for the loss and ruin that would befall the land and its people.
