village of fountains, a place on the north-east frontier of Palestine ( Numbers 34:9 Numbers 34:10 ). Some have identified it with Ayan ed-Dara in the heart of the central chain of Anti-Libanus. More probably, however, it has been identified with Kuryetein, about 60 miles east-north-east of Damascus. (Compare Ezekiel 47:17 ; 48:1 .)
