Enshemesh: The fountain of the Sun; whether a town, or simply a fountain, is uncertain. Geliloth: Geliloth is probably the same as Gilgal; though as the word may signify border or limits, some think that it is probably not the proper name of a place: "And went forth towards the borders which are over against the ascent to Adummim." Others render Geliloth circuits or roundings, or the hills about Jordan, tumuli Jordanis. Vulgate: pertransit usque ad tumulos. the stone: Jos 15:6 Joshua 18:18
