Strong's Lexicon Beth Kar: House of the Lamb or House of the Pasture Original Word: בֵּית כַּר Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Beyth Kar Pronunciation: bayth kahr Phonetic Spelling: (bayth kar) Definition: Beth-Car Meaning: "House of the Lamb" or "House of the Pasture." Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith) meaning "house" and כַּר (kar) meaning "lamb" or "pasture." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Beth-Car, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the concept of a "house" or "dwelling" can be related to Greek terms such as οἶκος (oikos) for "house" or "household." Usage: Beth-Car is a proper noun used as a place name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Beth-Car is mentioned in the context of a significant event in the history of Israel. It appears in 1 Samuel 7:11, where the Israelites, under the leadership of Samuel, pursued the Philistines and defeated them. The location of Beth-Car is not precisely known, but it is described as a place to which the Israelites chased the Philistines after a victorious battle. The name suggests a pastoral setting, possibly indicating a region known for sheep farming or a place associated with lambs. The victory at Beth-Car was part of a larger narrative where the Israelites, having repented and returned to the Lord, experienced divine intervention against their enemies. This event marked a turning point in the struggle between the Israelites and the Philistines, showcasing the power of faith and obedience to God.
