Horonaim
Template:Short description Template:More citations needed
Horonaim (Template:Langx Ḥōrōnayīm)[1] is a city in Moab, mentioned in two Hebrew Bible oracles against the nation of Moab: in the Book of Jeremiah (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".), and in the Book of Isaiah, (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".). In 2 Samuel (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".), an addition from the Septuagint text (Script error: No such module "Lang".) is sometimes translated as Horonaim (in e.g. NIV, ISV), although it possibly derives from as little as a preposition.[2]
There is some reason to identify Horonaim with the city Horonan (Moabite: 𐤇𐤅𐤓𐤍𐤍 *Ḥawrānān),[3] named in the Mesha Stele (lines 31 and 32).[4] The name may derive from the god Horon,[5] or from Western Semitic words for cave, cavern, hollow or valley.[6]
