Transliteration: `Anathowth Pronunciation: ah-nah-thoth Phonetic Spelling: (an-aw-thoth') Definition: Anathoth Meaning: Anathoth is a proper noun referring to a town in the territory of Benjamin, known as the birthplace of the prophet Jeremiah. Word Origin: Derived from the root ענת (Anath), possibly related to the Canaanite goddess Anath. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Anathoth, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: Anathoth is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific Levitical city within the tribal allotment of Benjamin. It is mentioned in various contexts, including genealogical records and narratives involving the prophet Jeremiah. Context: Anathoth is a town located in the tribal territory of Benjamin, approximately three miles northeast of Jerusalem. It is historically significant as a Levitical city, designated for the descendants of Aaron, the priestly line. Anathoth is most notably recognized as the hometown of the prophet Jeremiah, as mentioned in Jeremiah 1:1: "The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin." The town is referenced in several other biblical passages. In 1 Kings 2:26, King Solomon exiles Abiathar the priest to Anathoth, marking the end of his priestly service. Anathoth is also listed among the cities whose inhabitants returned from Babylonian exile, as recorded in Nehemiah 11:32. Anathoth's association with the priestly class and its proximity to Jerusalem underscore its religious and strategic importance in ancient Israel. The town's mention in prophetic literature, particularly in relation to Jeremiah, highlights its role in the spiritual and political narratives of the Hebrew Bible.
