General Location Notes | Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary (1992) (Ebez (place)): between Aulam and Sirin |
Precise Coordinates Notes | this is a point between Awlam and Sirin since I can’t locate Ain el Habus specifically; Abu-Sitta, Atlas of Palestine (2004) (map 248) shows several springs near Sirin, and the Arabic wikipedia article for Awlam accounts for all the springs near there, of which Ein esh Sheikh Dahwa best fits the description; Palestine Open Maps (Western Palestine 1:63,000) calls this point Ain el Bestan |
