Spring

"(Heb. `ain, "the bright open source, the eye of the landscape")." "To be carefully distinguished from "well" (q.v.). "Springs" mentioned in Josh. 10:40 (Heb. `ashdoth) should rather be "declivities or "slopes" (R.V.), i.e., the undulating ground" lying between the lowlands (the shephelah) and the central range of hills.
