EMIMS(Ὀμμίν, Ἐμμαῖοι), the very ancient inhabitants of Moab, a gigantic race, as their name imports, dispossessed by the children of Lot [MOAB] ( Deut. 2.10, 11), having been then lately weakened, as would appear, by the defeat they had experienced in the valley of Kiriathaim from Chedorlaomer and the confederate kings, as recorded in Genesis (14.5).
