It is believed to be a combination of two places, En and Rimmon, which were merged into one settlement. This reflects the historical practice of consolidating smaller towns for administrative and defensive purposes. En-rimmon is located in the Negev region, a semi-arid area south of Judah, which was significant for its strategic position and agricultural potential. The mention of En-rimmon highlights the restoration efforts and the re-establishment of communities in the land of Israel, fulfilling God's promise to bring His people back to their homeland.<p><b>Zorah</b><br>Zorah is a town in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah. It is historically significant as the birthplace of Samson, one of the judges of Israel (<a href="/judges/13-2.htm">Judges 13:2</a>). The town's inclusion in the list of resettled areas underscores the continuity of Israel's heritage and the importance of reclaiming ancestral lands. Zorah's location on the border of Philistine territory made it a site of frequent conflict, symbolizing the ongoing struggle between the Israelites and their neighbors. The resettlement of Zorah represents a reclaiming of identity and divine promise, as the Israelites reestablish their presence in historically significant locations.<p><b>Jarmuth</b><br>Jarmuth is another town in the Shephelah region, known for its fortified status and historical significance. It was one of the cities that joined the coalition against Joshua during the conquest of Canaan (<a href="/joshua/10-3.htm">Joshua 10:3</a>). The mention of Jarmuth in Nehemiah's account of resettlement reflects the restoration of cities that were once part of Israel's conquest and settlement under Joshua. This connection to the past serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to the Israelites. The rebuilding and repopulation of Jarmuth signify a renewal of covenantal blessings and the reestablishment of God's people in their promised inheritance.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/en-rimmon.htm">En-rimmon</a></b><br>A location mentioned in the context of the repopulation of Jerusalem and its surrounding areas.
