Adummim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This entry incorporates text from the public domain Easton's Bible Dictionary, originally published in 1897.
Adummim - the red ones, a place apparently on the road between Jericho and Jerusalem, "on the south side of the torrent" Wady Kelt, looking toward Gilgal, mentioned Josh. 15:7; 18:17. It was nearly half-way between Jerusalem and Jericho, and now bears the name of Tal-at-ed-Dumm.
The Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adummim is in the area.
[edit] In Christianity
It is supposed to have been the place referred to in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37). Recently a new carriage-road has been completed, and carriages for the first time have come along this road from Jerusalem.
