en ro.gel is a proper place name marking a boundary point and a location for events in the cited verses.

The supplied verses use this proper noun as a place name, most often in boundary descriptions: Joshua 15:7 places the border's outgoings there, and Joshua 18:16 says the border descended there. The same place name also identifies the location where Jonathan and Ahimaaz stood and where Adonijah sacrificed animals.

Senses in use

  1. Place name in boundary descriptions · dominant

    In Joshua 15:7 the proper-noun form occurs where the APB renders the border's outgoings as being "at En-rogel." In Joshua 18:16, the same proper-noun use marks the point to which the border "descended to En-rogel."

  2. Place name as an event location · common

    In 2 Samuel 17:17 the proper-noun form identifies where Jonathan and Ahimaaz were standing while messages were relayed to King David. In 1 Kings 1:9, the APB places Adonijah's sacrifice beside En-rogel, locating the gathering and sacrifice.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term consistently as "En-rogel": as a boundary destination in Joshua 15:7 and Joshua 18:16, and as the location of people or events in 2 Samuel 17:17 and 1 Kings 1:9. These renderings confirm the verse-level location rather than isolate every contribution of the term.
