- Elim:
- This was on the northern skirts of the desert of Sin, and, according to Dr. Shaw, two leagues from Tor, and near 30 from Corondel, which he conjectures to be Marah, where there is a small rill, which is brackish. He found but nine of the wells, the other three being filled up with sand; but the 70 palm trees had increased into more than 2,000. "And they removedª° from Marah,ª¹ and cameª° unto Elim:ª and in Elimª [were] twelveªª fountainsª of water,ª and threescore and tenª palm trees;ª and they pitchedª° there.¹" {Num 33:9} + "Therefore with joyª shall ye drawª° waterª out of the wellsª¹ of salvation.ª" {Isa 12:3} + "And by¹ the riverª upon¹ the bankª thereof, on this side¹¹ and on that side,¹¹ shall growª° all¹ treesª for meat,ª whose leafª shall not¹ fade,ª° neither¹ shall the fruitª thereof be consumed:ª° it shall bring forth new fruitª° according to his months,ª because¹ their watersª they¹ issued outª° of¹ the sanctuary:ª and the fruitª thereof shall be¹ for meat,ª and the leafª thereof for medicine.ª" {Ezk 47:12} + "Forª the¹ Lambª whichª is in¹ the midstª² of the¹ throneª shall feedª° them,ª andª shall leadª° themª untoª livingª° fountainsª of waters:ª andª Godª shall wipe awayª° allª tearsª fromª their²¹ eyes.ª" {Rev 7:17} + "Inª the midstª of the¹ streetª of it,ª andª on either² sideª¹ of the¹ river,ª [was there] the treeª of life,ª which bareª° twelveª [manner of] fruits,ª [and] yieldedª° her²¹ fruitª everyªªª month:ª andª the¹ leavesª of the¹ treeª [were] forª the healingª of the¹ nations.ª" {Rev 22:2}
