EN-GANNIM ĕn găn’ ĭm (עֵ֣ין גַּנִּ֔ים, spring of gardens). 1. In Joshua 15:34 it is one of the towns in the second district of Judah. Beyond the fact that it was in the Shephelah (lowland) and prob. not far from Beth-shemesh there is no indication of its site. The identification with the modern Beit Jemâl is dubious.

2. In Joshua 19:21 it is a place in the tribal portion of Issachar, and in Joshua 21:29 a Levitical city given to the Gershonites. In 1 Chronicles 6:73 Anem is prob. a scribal corruption of the name. In addition it is prob. the Beth-haggan of 2 Kings 9:27 (so HGHL p. 354, Moffatt, RSV; KJV, ASV have “garden house”). There is general agreement that it is the modern Jenin. The site was never of military importance, but very fertile and lying on a secondary route out of the plain of Esdraelon.
