Strong's Lexicon Béthphagé: Bethphage Original Word: Βηθφαγή Word Origin: From Aramaic, combining "beth" (house) and "pag" (unripe fig) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the components of the name can be linked to: - H1004 (בֵּית, bayith): House - H6291 (פַּג, pag): Unripe fig Usage: Bethphage means "house of unripe figs." It is a small village mentioned in the New Testament, located near the Mount of Olives and close to Jerusalem. It is significant in the Gospel narratives as the place where Jesus instructed His disciples to find a donkey and colt for His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Cultural and Historical Background: Bethphage was situated on the road from Jericho to Jerusalem, near Bethany. It was part of the route that Jewish pilgrims would take to enter Jerusalem, especially during the Passover. The village's name suggests it may have been known for fig trees, which were common in the region. The proximity to the Mount of Olives and Jerusalem made it a strategic location for Jesus' entry into the city, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9.
