Remeth
The name "Remeth" is derived from the Hebrew root "רָמָה" (ramah), which means "height" or "elevation." This suggests a place of prominence or significance, possibly a city situated on a hill. In the context of the Promised Land, such elevated locations were often strategically important for defense and visibility. Spiritually, this can symbolize the elevated status of God's people when they are faithful to His commands, reminding believers of the call to live lives that are set apart and visible as a testament to God's glory.

En-gannim
The name "En-gannim" translates to "spring of gardens" in Hebrew. This indicates a place of fertility and life, likely abundant with water and vegetation. In the arid climate of the ancient Near East, a spring would be a vital resource, symbolizing sustenance and God's provision. For Christians, this can be seen as a metaphor for the living water that Christ offers, which nourishes and sustains the soul, as referenced in John 4:14.

En-haddah
The name "En-haddah" is less clear in its etymology, but it is believed to mean "swift spring" or "fountain of joy." This suggests a place where water flows rapidly, bringing life and refreshment. Historically, such locations were crucial for settlement and agriculture. Spiritually, this can be seen as a representation of the joy and renewal that comes from a relationship with God, who is the source of all true joy and refreshment.

Beth-pazzez
The name "Beth-pazzez" can be translated as "house of dispersion" or "house of the spreading." This might indicate a place where people or resources were distributed or spread out. In a biblical context, it could symbolize the spreading of God's people throughout the land, fulfilling His promise to Abraham to make his descendants as numerous as the stars. For believers, it serves as a reminder of the Great Commission, to spread the Gospel to all nations, as Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:19-20.

(21) Er-Rameh (sheet 11), Jenin (sheet 8), Kefr- adan (sheet 8).

Verse 21. - En-gannim. Supposed to be the same as the "garden house" (the Bethgan of the LXX.) mentioned in 2 Kings 9:27) where Ahaziah, king of Judah, met with the wound of which he afterwards died at Megiddo. It was one of the Levitical cities of Issachar (Joshua 21:29). Robinson, Vandevelde, and others identify it with the modern Jenin, the Ginaea of Josephus. The meaning of the name is "fountain of the gardens" and the present Jenin is situated, so Robinson tells us, in the midst of gardens.
