Geruth-Chimham

Geruth Chimham
gerooth kimham ( , geruth kmham): If the reading geruth is correct, a lodging-place or khan on the highway to Egypt, may be meant (Jer 41:17). It may have been built by Chimham son of Barzillai; or it may have been named from him as owner of the land on which it stood. But probably with Josephus we should read gidhroth, hurdles or sheep pens (Ant., X, ix, 5).
