Elim
   trees, (Ex. 15:27; Num. 33:9), the name of the second station
   where the Israelites encamped after crossing the Red Sea. It had
   "twelve wells of water and threescore and ten palm trees." It
   has been identified with the Wady Ghurundel, the most noted of
   the four wadies which descend from the range of et-Tih towards
   the sea. Here they probably remained some considerable time. The
   form of expression in Ex. 16:1 seems to imply that the people
   proceeded in detachments or companies from Elim, and only for
   the first time were assembled as a complete host when they
   reached the wilderness of Sin (q.v.).
