Strong's Lexicon Beth-hashshimshi: House of the Sun Original Word: בֵּית הַשִּׁמְשִׁי Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth, meaning "house") and הַשִּׁמְשִׁי (hashshimshi, related to "sun" or "sunlight"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth-hashshimshi in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a New Testament counterpart. Usage: Beth-hashshimshi is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a location associated with the sun. The name suggests a place that may have been known for its sunny conditions or possibly a site of sun worship in ancient times. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the sun was often revered as a powerful deity, and locations associated with the sun could have religious significance. The name Beth-hashshimshi reflects this cultural context, indicating a place that might have been a center for solar worship or simply a region noted for its sunny climate. The Israelites, however, were commanded to worship Yahweh alone, and any association with sun worship would have been contrary to their covenantal faith.
