Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Punon, as it is a specific place name in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: Punon is a place name mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the context of the Israelites' wilderness journey. It is one of the stations where the Israelites camped during their 40-year sojourn in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt.

Cultural and Historical Background: Punon is believed to have been located in the region of Edom, which is southeast of the Dead Sea. The area was known for its copper mines, and it is possible that Punon was a site of mining activity during biblical times. The Edomites, descendants of Esau, inhabited this region, and it played a significant role in the history of Israel due to its strategic location and resources.
