Strong's Lexicon Beth-anath: Beth-anath Original Word: בֵּית עֲנָת Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth, meaning "house") and עֲנָת (Anath, a Canaanite goddess) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth-anath, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, Greek entries related to places or deities might provide contextual understanding. Usage: Beth-anath means "house of Anath." It is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the tribal allotments in the land of Canaan. The name suggests a location dedicated to or associated with the Canaanite goddess Anath, who was a deity of war and fertility. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth-anath was a town located in the territory allotted to the tribe of Naphtali. The presence of a name associated with a Canaanite goddess indicates the syncretistic religious practices that were common in the region before and during the early Israelite settlement. The Israelites were often in conflict with the Canaanite inhabitants, who worshipped a pantheon of gods and goddesses, including Anath. The town's name reflects the cultural and religious influences that the Israelites encountered and were instructed to avoid.
