# Eneglaim: A Place Name in Biblical Geography Eneglaim (עֵין עֶגְלַיִם) is a geographical location mentioned twice in the Hebrew Bible. The name itself appears to be a compound Hebrew term, with "en" (עֵין) typically meaning "spring" or "fountain," and "eglaim" (עֶגְלַיִם) referring to calves or young cattle. This combination suggests the name originally designated a physical place, likely marked by a spring associated with livestock or pastoral activity. Given that Eneglaim appears only twice in the biblical text, it functioned as a minor place reference rather than a major biblical location. The limited occurrences provide restricted evidence for understanding its specific role in biblical history or geography. Without access to the specific passages where these two mentions occur, the precise context and significance of this location remain defined only by its name and frequency of appearance. The word represents the type of place-name designation common in ancient Near Eastern geography, where natural features and economic activities were combined in location names.
