Commentary on Genesis 38:14

Theological / Devotional

An open place. The KJV translators did not recognize the Hebrew expression thus rendered as the name of a town. It should read, “the entrance to Enaim,” as in the RSV. Enaim must have been on the road between Adullam and Timnath, but has not yet been identified. It is probably the Enam of Joshua 15:34, mentioned there as being close to Adullam.
