Yenoam

Yenoam (or Yanoam; Ancient Egyptian: ynwꜥmꜣ) is a place in ancient Land of Israel or Syria, known from Ancient Egyptian regnal sources, of the time of Thutmose III to Ramesses III.[2] One such source is a stela of Seti I found in Beit She'an. Another is the Merneptah Stele.

The location of Yenoam is a matter of speculation. Suggested sites include Tell Shihab in Yarmouk River valley in southern Syria, Tell Na'ama (Na'ameh) in Hula Valley, Tell Na'am (en-Naam) near Yavne'el, and Tell Ovadya (Ubeidiya) in the Jordan Valley.[3] It has been tentatively associated with the biblical city of Janoah (ynwḥ).[2]
