The tabernacle, corresponding to the chieftains tent of an ordinary encampment, was placed in the centre, and around and facing it, kjv@Numbers:2:1) arranged in four grand divisions, corresponding to the four points of the compass, lay the host of Israel, according to their standards. kjv@Numbers:1:52 kjv@Numbers:2:2) In the centre, round the tabernacle, and with no standard but the cloudy or fiery pillar which rested over it, were the tents of the priests and Levites. The former, with Moses and Aaron at their head, were encamped on the eastern side. The order of encampment was preserved on the march. kjv@Numbers:2:17)

( kjv@2Chronicles:20:2) Its site is about the middle of the western shore of the lake, at the fountain of Ain Jidy , from which the place gets its name. It was immediately after an assault upon the "Amorites that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar," that the five Mesopotamian kings were attacked by the rulers of the plain of Sodom. kjv@Genesis:14:7) comp. kjv@2Chronicals:20:2 Saul was told that David was in the "wilderness of Engedi;" and he took "three thousand men, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.

ENGINE - E>@ - a term applied exclusively to military affairs in the Bible. The engines to which the term is applied in ( kjv@2Chronicles:26:15) were designed to propel various missiles from the walls of the besieged town.

ENOCH - E>@ - (dedicated). The eldest son of Cain, kjv@Genesis:4:17) who called after his name the city which he built. kjv@Genesis:4:18) (B.C. 3870.) The son of Jared and father of Methuselah. kjv@Genesis:5:21) ff.; kjv@Luke:3:37 (B.C. 3378-3013.) In the Epistle of Jude kjv@Jude:1:1:14) he described as "the seventh from Adam;" and the number is probably noticed as conveying the idea of divine completion and rest, while Enoch was himself a type of perfected humanity. After the birth of Methuselah it is said, kjv@Genesis:5:22-24) that Enoch "walked with God three hundred years... and he was not; for God took him." The phrase "walked with God" is elsewhere only used of Noah, kjv@Genesis:6:9) cf. kjv@Genesis:17:1 etc., and is to be explained of a prophetic life spent in immediate converse with the spiritual world. Like Elijah, he was translated without seeing death. In the Epistle to the Hebrews the spring and issue of Enoch’s life are clearly marked. Both the Latin and Greek fathers commonly coupled Enoch and Elijah as historic witnesses of the possibility of a resurrection of the body and of a true human existence in glory. kjv@Revelation:11:3)

ENOCH, THE BOOK OF - E>@ - The first trance of the existence of this work is found in the Epistle of kjv@Jude:1:1:14-15) An apocryphal book called Enoch was known at a very early date, but was lost sight of until 1773, when Bruce brought with him on his return from Egypt three MSS. containing the complete Ethiopic translation. In its present shape the book consists of a series of revelations supposed to have been given to Enoch and Noah, which extend to the most varied aspects of nature and life. And are designed to offer a comprehensive vindication of the action of Providence. Notwithstanding the quotation in Jude, and the wide circulation of the book itself, the apocalypse of Enoch was uniformly and distinctly separated from the canonical Scriptures. Its authorship and date are unknown.

ENON - E>@ - (springs), a place "near to Salim," at which John baptized. kjv@John:3:23) It was evidently west of the Jordan, comp. kjv@John:3:22) with kjv@John:3:26 and with kjv@John:1:28 And abounded in water. This is indicated by the name, which is merely a Greek version of a Chaldee word signifying "springs." AEnon is given in the Onomasticon as eight miles south of Scythopolis, "near Salem and the Jordan."

ENOS - E>@ - (mortal man), the son of Seth, kjv@Genesis:4:26 kjv@Genesis:5:6-7-9-10-11; kjv@Luke:3:38) properly ENOSH, as in ( kjv@1Chronicles:1:1)

ENOSH - E>@ - Same as ENOS. ( kjv@1Chronicles:1:1)

ENRIMMON - E>@ - (fount of the pomegranate), one of the places which the men of Judah reinhabited after their return from the captivity. kjv@Nehemiah:11:29) Perhaps the same as "Ain and Rimmon," kjv@Joshua:15:32) and "Ain, Remmon," kjv@Joshua:19:7) and see ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:32)

ENROGEL - E>@ - (fount of the fuller), a spring which formed one of the landmarks on the boundary line between Judah, kjv@Joshua:15:7) and Benjamin. kjv@Joshua:18:16) It may be identified with the present "Fountain of the Virgin," ’Ain Umm ed

ENSHEMESH - E>@ - (fountain of the sun), a spring which formed one of the landmarks on the north boundary of Judah, kjv@Joshua:15:7) and the south boundary of Benjamin, kjv@Joshua:18:17) perhaps Ain Haud or Ain

about a mile below Bethany.

ENSIGN - E>@ - (nes ; in the Authorized Version generally "ensign," sometimes "standard;" degel , "standard," with the exception of (Solomon kjv@2:4) "banner;" oth , "ensign"). This distinction between these three Hebrew terms is sufficiently marked by their respective uses. Nes is a signal , and not a military standard. It is an occasional signal, which was exhibited on the top of a pole from a bare mountain-top, kjv@Isaiah:13:2 kjv@Isaiah:18:3) degel a military standard for a large division of an army; and oth the same for a small one. Neither of them, however, expresses the idea which "standard" conveys to our minds, viz. a flag. The standards in use among the Hebrews probably resembled those of the Egyptians and Assyrians
a figure or device of some kind elevated on a pole; usually a sacred emblem, such as an animal, a boat, or the king’s name.
