Rimmon Perez

Rimmon Perez or Rimmon-Parez (Hebrew: רִמֹּן פָּרֶץ) is one of the stations of the Israelites in the wilderness during the Exodus.

The name means a pomegranate breach, or Rimmon of the breach. It may be the modern place Makhtesh-Ramon; Arabic: Wadi er Rummun, which lies in the midst of a great "breach" in the earth, an erosion crater. This is near Ain el Qadeis, which is identified by some as Kadesh Barnea
