Punon [NAVE]

PUNON, a city of Edom. A camping ground of the Israelites, in their forty years' wandering, Num. 33:42, 43.

PUNON [SMITH]

(darkness) one of the halting-places of the Israelite host during the last portion of the wandering. (Numbers 33:42,43) By Eusebius and Jerome, it is identified with Phaeno, which contained the copper-mines so well known at that period, and was situated between Petra and Zoar.

PUNON [ISBE]

PUNON - pu'-non (punon): A desert camp of the Israelites, the second after leaving Mt. Hor (Nu 33:42,43). Eusebius (Onom 299 85; 123 9) mentions an Idumean village, North of Petra, in the desert, where convicts were mining copper, called Phinon or Phainon. These are doubtless identical.
