The first trance of the existence of this work is found in the Epistle of (Jude 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
(springs), a place “near to Salim,” at which John baptized. (John 3:23) It was evidently west of
the Jordan, comp. (John 3:22) with John 3:26 and with 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
(mortal man), the son of Seth, (Genesis 4:26; 5:6,7,9,10,11; Luke 3:38) properly Enosh, as in
(1 Chronicles 1:1)
Enosh
Same as Enos. (1 Chronicles 1:1)
Enrimmon
(fount of the pomegranate), one of the places which the men of Judah reinhabited after their
return from the captivity. (Nehemiah 11:29) Perhaps the same as “Ain and Rimmon,” (Joshua
15:32) and “Ain, Remmon,” (Joshua 19:7) and see (1 Chronicles 4:32)
Enrogel
(fount of the fuller), a spring which formed one of the landmarks on the boundary line between
Judah, (Joshua 15:7) and Benjamin. (Joshua 18:16) It may be identified with the present “Fountain
of the Virgin,” ’Ain Umm ed-Daraj, the perennial source from which the pool of Siloam is supplied.
Enshemesh
(fountain of the sun), a spring which formed one of the landmarks on the north boundary of
Judah, (Joshua 15:7) and the south boundary of Benjamin, (Joshua 18:17) perhaps Ain Haud or
Ain-Chot—the “well of apostles”—about a mile below Bethany.
Ensign
(nes ; in the Authorized Version generally “ensign,” sometimes “standard;” degel, “standard,”
with the exception of (Song of Solomon 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, (Isaiah 13:2; 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.
