Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for En Eglayim, 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: En Eglayim is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "spring of two calves." It is mentioned in the context of a prophetic vision concerning the future transformation of the Dead Sea region.

Cultural and Historical Background: En Eglayim is referenced in the context of Ezekiel's vision of the river flowing from the temple, which transforms the Dead Sea into a place teeming with life.
