What Does Nehemiah 11:29 Mean in the King James?
And at En-rimmon, and at Zareah, and at Jarmuth,
The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The verse makes restoration concrete in named places, beginning with En-rimmon, the spring of the pomegranate.
THE MEANING
Restoration has a location and texture: people belong to particular ground, and En-rimmon’s name holds a spring beside a pomegranate. The list lets you see life as something rooted, inhabited, and named.
THE ROOT
עֵין רִמּוֹן
En-rimmon
GROWS FROM
עין
ayin
The Hebrew form עין (ayin) means eye and also spring or fountain.
The first part of En-rimmon is עֵין, “spring of”; the whole name means “spring of Rimmon,” with Rimmon meaning pomegranate. The same written form עין names both an eye and a spring, holding perception and a source of water in one word.
ALSO GROWS
ayin: Eye; also a spring or fountain.
עַיִן
This is the shared Hebrew form in En-rimmon, where it names a spring.
ma'yan: Spring or fountain.
מַעְיָן
This related word carries the same spring sense that forms the beginning of En-rimmon.
THE PATTERN
Renewed life becomes visible when people inhabit specific places and make them dwellable again.
And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;THE THREAD
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.The Hebrew behind “a well” is מַעְיָן (ma’yan), a spring word related to עין (ayin), the spring named at the start of En-rimmon. The name’s water source meets a passage where a place of weeping becomes a well.
