Eynayim
Enaim
A proper noun referring to a specific location, ʻÊynayim, meaning 'Two Springs' or 'Double Spring.' The word functions primarily as a toponym in the Hebrew Bible, designating a site known for its springs. In narrative context, it is the location where Judah encountered Tamar (Genesis 38:14, 21). The term does not carry a broader metaphorical sense in Biblical Hebrew beyond its function as a place name derived from anatomical or hydrological imagery (i.e., eyes/wells/springs).
