Rimmono

See Eimmon, No. 3. RIMMON-PEREZ (AVRimmon-parez, following, with LXX and Vulg., the pausal form given in the MT of Nu SS"-" P.9 pi ; LXX "Piiiiiwy ^dpes (also 'Po/i/iui' and 'Pe/x/xuS <I>. ), Vulg. RcminonpJuires). — One of the twelve camping places of the children of Israel, mentioned only in the itinerary of Nu 33, between Ilazeroth and Mo.seroth. Ewald identifies it with Rimmon in the south of Judah (Jos 15'' etc. ), and some of the names following are referred by him to the same region.

He thinks it probable that the Israelites made their way for some dis- tance into the southern part of the country, after- wards allotted to Judah and Simeon, and that in this portion of the itinerary a trace may be found of such a campaign ; cf. Nu H^il'"', and Hormah. The second part of the name may have been added in commemoration of a victory gained at this place, after the analogy of Baal-perazim. A. T. Chapman.
