Nimrim

nimrim (, me nimrm; Codex Vaticanus , Nebren; Codex Alexandrinus , Ebrm (Jer 48:34); , to hudor tes Nimrem (Isa 15:6)): The meaning appears to be pure or wholesome water. The name occurs only in Isa 15:6 and Jer 48:34 in oracles against Moab. In each case it is mentioned in association with Zoar and Horonaim. It is therefore probably to be sought to the Southeast of the Dead Sea. Eusebius, Onomasticon, places a town, Bennamareim, to the Nimrim of Zoar, and identifies it with the Old Testament Nimrim, as it seems, correctly. The name is still found in Wady Numeireh, opening on the sea at Burj Numeirah, Nimrim of Ghor es-Safiyeh. The waters of Nimrim may be sought either in Moiyet Numeirah or in the spring higher up, where lie the ruins of a town in a well-watered and fruitful district (Buhl, GAP, 272).

Nimrim

Nim’rim. (limpid, pure). The waters of Nimrim. A stream or brook within the country of Moab, which is mentioned in the denunciations, of that nation by Isaiah, Isa 15:6, and Jeremiah. Jer 48:34. We should, perhaps, look for the site of Nimrim in Moab proper, that is, on the southeastern shoulder of the Dead Sea.
