Strong's Lexicon Beth Haemeq: Beth Haemeq Original Word: בֵּית הָעֵמֶק Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth, meaning "house" or "place") and הָעֵמֶק (haemeq, meaning "the valley"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth Haemeq in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Beth Haemeq is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "house of the valley." It is mentioned as a location within the tribal allotments of the Israelites, specifically in the territory of the tribe of Asher. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, place names often held significant meanings related to geographical features or historical events. The name Beth Haemeq suggests a settlement or landmark situated in or near a valley. Valleys in the biblical context were often fertile areas, crucial for agriculture and settlement. The tribe of Asher, to which Beth Haemeq belonged, was located in the northern part of Israel, known for its rich lands and agricultural productivity.
