(Heb. Iyism', עַיַּים uins, as in Jeremiah 26:18, etc.), the name of two places.
1. (Sept. Αἰείμ, Vulg. Iim.) A city in the extreme south of Judah, mentioned between Baalah and Azem (Joshua 15:29), and therefore doubtless included within the territory set off to Simeon, as the associated places were (Joshua 19:3), which afford the only means for a conjectural position nearly midway from the Dead Sea towards the Mediterranean.
2. (Sept. Τα ‹, Vulg. Ijeabarim), both reading the same as in the preceding verse.). One of the stations of the Israelites not long before reaching the Jordan (Numbers 33:45); usually called fully IJE-ABARIM (Numbers 33:44).
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
