    All attested forms are tagged Noun · Proper and identify the same place in travel notices. In Exodus 15:27 the APB renders arrival there, twelve springs, seventy palm trees, and camping beside the water; Numbers 33:9 likewise renders arrival from Marah and camping there, while Exodus 16:1 and Numbers 33:10 render departure from the place.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB presents the name as "Elim" in arrival, departure, location, and camping clauses. Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, these renderings are treated as the verse-level presentation of the proper name.
