It is described as a place "near Salim" where John the Baptist was baptizing because "there was plenty of water" (John 3:23, BSB). The name itself suggests a place characterized by abundant water sources, fitting for the practice of baptism.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first-century Judean context, water was a precious resource, and locations with abundant water were significant for both practical and religious reasons. Baptism, a ritual of purification and repentance, required sufficient water, making Ainón an ideal location for John the Baptist's ministry. The mention of Ainón highlights the itinerant nature of John's ministry and the importance of natural resources in the region's religious practices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably of Aramaic origin, cf. <a href="/hebrew/5871.htm">ayin</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Aenon, a place in the Jordan Valley<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Aenon (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 137: Αἰνών</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Αἰνών</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (either a strengthened form of <span class="hebrew">עַיִן</span> and equivalent to <span class="hebrew">עֵינָן</span>, or a Chaldaic plural, equivalent to <span class="hebrew">עֵינָוָן</span>, springs; (others besides)), Aenon, indeclinable proper name, either of a place, or of a fountain, not far from Salim: <a href="/interlinear/john/3-23.htm">John 3:23</a> (thought to be Wady Far'ah, running from Matt.
