The aboriginal inhabitants; on the border between Benjamin and Judah, on a rising ground; whence the phrase is, "the going up of Adummim." S. of the torrent, and looking toward Gilgal. The road still passes the same way, leading up from Jericho (four miles off) and the Jordan valley to Jerusalem, eight miles distant, S. of the gorge of the wady Kelt. It was believed to be the place where the traveler fell among robbers in the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10). The order of Knights Templar arose out of an association for guarding this road, which has always been infested by robbers; Jerome indeed derives from the Hebrew "bloodshed."

ADUMMIM. The Ascent of (Jos 15:7; 18:17), is the steep pass in which the road ascends from Jericho to Jerusalem. Its modern name, Tal'at ed-Dumm, 'the ascent of blood' or 'red,' is most probably due to the red marl which is so distinctive a feature of the pass. In this pass, notorious for robberies and murders, is the traditional 'inn' of Lu 10:34.
