◄ 881. Beeroth ►
Strong's Lexicon Beeroth: Beeroth Original Word: בְּאֵרוֹת Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: B'erowth Pronunciation: beh-ay-roth' Phonetic Spelling: (be-ay-rohth') Definition: Beeroth Meaning: Beeroth Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בְּאֵר (be'er), meaning "well" or "spring." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beeroth in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Beeroth means "wells" or "springs." It is used in the Bible as the name of a city that was part of the Gibeonite confederation. The name reflects the presence of water sources, which were crucial for settlement and survival in the ancient Near East. Cultural and Historical Background: Beeroth was one of the four cities of the Hivites who tricked Joshua into making a peace treaty with them (Joshua 9:17). It was located in the territory allotted to the tribe of Benjamin (Joshua 18:25). The city is historically significant as it highlights the interactions between the Israelites and the indigenous Canaanite populations during the conquest of Canaan. Beeroth's association with the Gibeonites, who became servants to the Israelites, underscores themes of covenant and deception.
