NASB Translation

Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עַיִן (ayin, meaning "spring" or "fountain") and קוֹרֵא (qore, meaning "caller" or "one who calls").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for this specific Hebrew proper noun, as it is a unique place name found in the Old Testament. However, the concept of a "spring" or "fountain" can be related to Greek words such as πηγή (pegē, Strong's Greek 4077), meaning "spring" or "fountain."

Usage: This proper noun refers to a specific location mentioned in the Bible, associated with a miraculous event in the life of Samson.

Context: En-hak-Kore is a site mentioned in the Book of Judges, specifically in Judges 15:19. After Samson defeated a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey, he became very thirsty and cried out to the LORD. In response, God provided water from a hollow place in Lehi, which Samson named En-hak-Kore, meaning "Spring of the Caller," as it was the place where God answered his call for water. This location is significant as it highlights God's provision and response to the needs of His people, even in miraculous ways. The exact geographical location of En-hak-Kore is not definitively known today, but it is traditionally associated with the region of Lehi, in the territory of Judah.
