Transliteration: `Anathowth Pronunciation: ah-nah-thoth Phonetic Spelling: (an-aw-thoth') Definition: Anathoth Meaning: Anathoth Word Origin: Derived from the root ענה (anah), meaning "to answer" or "to respond." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Anathoth in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and history. Usage: Anathoth is a town in the territory of Benjamin, mentioned in the Old Testament. It is primarily known as the hometown of the prophet Jeremiah. The name Anathoth may imply "answers" or "responses," possibly indicating a place of prayer or divine communication. Cultural and Historical Background: Anathoth was a Levitical city, meaning it was designated for the Levites, the priestly tribe of Israel. It was located a few miles northeast of Jerusalem. As a Levitical city, Anathoth would have been a center for religious instruction and worship. The town's association with the prophet Jeremiah highlights its significance in biblical history, particularly during the tumultuous period leading up to the Babylonian exile.
