Strong's Lexicon En Shemesh: En Shemesh Original Word: עֵין שֶׁמֶשׁ Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עֵין (ayin) meaning "spring" or "fountain" and שֶׁמֶשׁ (shemesh) meaning "sun." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for En Shemesh, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of springs or fountains can be related to Greek words like πηγή (pēgē), meaning "spring" or "fountain." Usage: En Shemesh translates to "spring of the sun" or "fountain of the sun." It is used in the Bible as a geographical location, specifically a landmark in the territory of the tribe of Judah. Cultural and Historical Background: En Shemesh is mentioned as a boundary marker in the delineation of tribal territories in ancient Israel. Springs were vital sources of water in the arid regions of the Near East, and their locations often became significant landmarks. The association with the sun may indicate the spring's exposure to sunlight or its importance in the daily life of the people.
