(Jeremiah 48:34) the waters of Nimrimare generally supposed to be connected with Beth-nimrah (Numbers 32:36), now Tell-nimrin, on the Wadi Shaib, flowing into the Jordan about 8 miles from its mouth. A place in the south of Moab would perhaps suit the context better, and explorers have found a Wadi Numeirah running into the Dead Sea a little south of Kerak. Eusebius also (Onomast.) says that the place was known in his day under the name Βηνναμαρείμ (the Heb. mê Nimrîm, "waters of N."), and lay to the N. of Zoar. On the stopping of the waters by an enemy, see 2 Kings 3:25.
