About En-gannim
En-gannim is mentioned in Joshua 15:34 as one of the cities in the lowlands (Shephelah) of Judah. It is listed among other cities in this region, such as Zanoah, Eshtaol, and Zoreah.
The name En-gannim means "spring of the gardens," suggesting the presence of a water source and fertile land nearby. Its exact location is unknown.
It is important to note that there is another city named En-gannim mentioned in the Bible, located in the territory of Issachar (Joshua 19:21). These two cities should not be confused with each other.
