Strong's Lexicon Eynayim: Eynayim Original Word: עֵינַיִם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עַיִן (ayin), meaning "eye" or "spring." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Eynayim, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of springs or fountains can be related to Greek words like πηγή (pēgē), meaning "spring" or "fountain." Usage: Eynayim is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, often translated as "two springs" or "double fountain." It is associated with a location near which significant biblical events occurred. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, springs were vital sources of water, essential for survival in the arid climate. They often became gathering places and were strategically important for settlements. The name Eynayim reflects the presence of two springs, indicating a place of refreshment and sustenance. Such locations were often used as landmarks or meeting points in biblical narratives.
