    Description

    En-gannim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    En-gannim, also known as Anem, was a city allotted to the tribe of Issachar during the division of the Promised Land (Joshua 19:21). Later, it was designated as one of the cities given to the Levites, specifically to the Gershonite clan (Joshua 21:29; 1Ch.6.73).

    The Levites, who were not given a specific territory, were distributed among the other tribes and given cities to live in, along with pasturelands for their flocks. En-gannim was one of these Levitical cities within Issachar's territory.

    The name En-gannim means "spring of the gardens," indicating the presence of a water source and fertile land. The alternate name Anem, used in 1Ch.6.73, may be a variant spelling or a scribal error.

    Apart from its allocation to Issachar and its designation as a Levitical city, no other events or details about En-gannim (or Anem) are recorded in the Bible. Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the region of Issachar, in the northern part of Israel.
