Adummim: The red ones, a place apparently on the road between Jericho and
Jerusalem, "on the south side of the torrent" Wady Kelt, looking
toward Gilgal, mentioned
(Joshua 15:7; 18:17) It was nearly half-way
between Jerusalem and Jericho, and now bears the name of
Tal-at-ed-Dumm. It is supposed to have been the place referred to in
the parable of the Good Samaritan
(Luke 10:30-37) Recently a new
carriage-road has been completed, and carriages for the first time
have come along this road from Jerusalem.
