Informace ze slovníku
[= posvátné stromy, botanicky nezjistitelné, snad duby, terebinty a j.], druhá ze stanic, kde se utábořili Izraelští po přechodu přes Rudé moře někde mezi Mara a pouští Sin. Bylo zde 12 studnic a 70 palem [Ex 15,27 ; Ex 16,1 ; Nu 33,9 n]. Je to prý dnešní Vadi Garandel nebo Tajbeh nedaleko Sinai, asi 100 km j. od Suezu.

Elim
trees, (Ex 15:27 ; Num 33:9 ), the name of the second station where the Israelites encamped after crossing the Red Sea. It had "twelve wells of water and threescore and ten palm trees." It has been identified with the Wady Ghurundel, the most noted of the four wadies which descend from the range of et-Tih towards the sea. Here they probably remained some considerable time. The form of expression in (Ex 16:1 ) seems to imply that the people proceeded in detachments or companies from Elim, and only for the first time were assembled as a complete host when they reached the wilderness of Sin (q.v.).
