Text:EBD:Meonenim
Revision as of 17:59, 14 November 2008 by Kathleen.wright5 (talk | contribs) (Meonenim (EBD) moved to Text:EBD:Meonenim)
(Judg. 9:37; A.V., "the plain of Meonenim;" R.V., "the oak of Meonenim") means properly "soothsayers" or "sorcerers," "wizards" (Deut. 18:10, 14; 2 Kings 21:6; Micah 5:12). This may be the oak at Shechem under which Abram pitched his tent (see SHECHEM), the "enchanter's oak," so called, perhaps, from Jacob's hiding the "strange gods" under it (Gen. 35:4).
