how do you pronounce shittim

The most common English pronunciation of “Shittim” (the biblical place name) is:

• “SHIT-im” – like “SHIT” + “im,” with the stress on the first syllable.

In modern Hebrew-oriented or scholarly contexts, you may also hear:

• “shee-TEEM” – with the stress on the second syllable, matching the original Hebrew plural ending “-im.”

So if you’re reading the Bible in an English-speaking setting, “SHIT-im” is standard, while “shee-TEEM” fits better when you want something closer to Hebrew.
