Nimrim was a stream or watery area in Moab remembered in prophetic lament. It is important because its drying becomes part of the imagery of national collapse. First appears in Isa 15:6.1
AI summary: Nimrim matters because judgment reaches even the life-giving places. Isaiah and Jeremiah invoke its withered waters to show that Moab's devastation is environmental as well as political. The cross references present Nimrim as a Moabite watercourse of drought, grief, and ruin.1
The stream of the leopards, a stream in Moab (Isa. 15:6; Jer. 48:34); probably the modern Wady en-Nemeirah, a rich, verdant spot at the south-eastern end of the Dead Sea. 3
