Ornamental objects which decorate the tops of the roller handles of the Torah. The Torah is the holy book of the Jewish people, and it is important to treat the Torah with honour and respect. The Torah is housed in an ark called an Aron Kodesh in Hebrew. The Torah is often decorated with special ornamental objects while housed in the Aron Kodesh. The Torah scroll is wrapped in silk, or another fine fabric, and decorated with a breastplate and rimmonim. This special ornamentation distinguishes the Torah as a sacred object in Judaism.

- One of the "uttermost cities" of Judah, afterwards given to Simeon (Joshua 15:21, 32; 19:7; 1 Chronicles 4:32). In Joshua 15:32, Ain and Rimon are mentioned separately, but in Joshua 19:7 and 1 Chronicles 4:32 the two words are probably to be combined, as forming together the name of one place, Ain-Rimmon = "the spring of the pomegranate" (compare Nehemiah 11:29). It has been identified with Um er-Rumamin, about 13 miles south-west of Hebron.
- The Rock of Rimon, where the Benjamites fled (Judges 20:45, 47; 21:13), and where they maintained themselves for four months after the battle at Gibeah.
