Strong's Lexicon Belteshatstsar: Belteshazzar Original Word: בֵּלְטְשַׂאצַּר Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Beltsha'tstsar Pronunciation: bel-te-shats-tsar Phonetic Spelling: (bale-tesh-ats-tsar') Definition: Belteshatstsar Meaning: "Bel protect the king" or "Bel's prince" Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Belteshatstsar, as it is specific to the Aramaic and Babylonian context. However, the Greek Septuagint uses transliterations of the name when referring to Daniel in the context of his Babylonian identity. Usage: The name given to Daniel by the chief of the eunuchs in the Babylonian court. It is used in the context of Daniel's service under the Babylonian king. Context: • Belteshatstsar is the Babylonian name given to Daniel, a Hebrew youth of noble lineage, who was taken into captivity during the Babylonian exile. The name reflects the Babylonian practice of renaming captives to assimilate them into their culture and religion. The name itself is derived from the Babylonian god Bel, indicating a protective or princely role under the deity's auspices. • In the Book of Daniel, Belteshatstsar is mentioned in several key passages. Daniel 1:7 states, "The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshatstsar." This renaming signifies Daniel's integration into the Babylonian court, yet throughout the narrative, Daniel remains faithful to the God of Israel, demonstrating wisdom and integrity. • The name Belteshatstsar is used in various contexts, often when Daniel is interacting with Babylonian royalty or officials. For instance, in Daniel 4:8, King Nebuchadnezzar refers to him as Belteshatstsar when recounting his dream: "Finally, Daniel came into my presence, and I told him the dream. He is called Belteshatstsar, after the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods is in him." • Despite the Babylonian name, Daniel's identity and faith remain rooted in his Hebrew heritage, as evidenced by his actions and the divine revelations he receives. The use of the name Belteshatstsar highlights the tension between his imposed identity and his true allegiance to God.
