AIN
1. City on the eastern border of Canaan, the Promised Land, northeast of the Sea of Galilee (Nm 34:11). The name means “well” or “spring.” It may be modern Khirbet ‘Ayyun.
2. Town in the territory of Simeon. Many (but not all) scholars consider the site to be En-rimmon (Jos 19:7; cf. Neh 11:29), implying a copyist’s error that separated “Ain” from “Rimmon.” See En-rimmon.
3. Place name in Joshua 21:16 resulting from another scribal mistake due to similarity of the words “Ain” and “Ashan” in Hebrew. The correct spelling is Ashan (cf. 1 Chr 6:59). See Ashan.
