Strong's Lexicon Beth Haeli: House of Eli Original Word: בֵּית הָאֱלִי Word Origin: Derived from בֵּית (beth, meaning "house") and אֵלִי (Eli, a personal name meaning "ascended" or "my God"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Beth Haeli," the concept of a priestly household or lineage can be related to Greek terms such as οἶκος (oikos, meaning "house" or "household") and ἱερατεία (hierateia, meaning "priesthood"). Usage: The term "Beth Haeli" refers to the household or lineage of Eli, the high priest during the time of the prophet Samuel. It is used to denote the family and descendants of Eli, particularly in the context of the judgment pronounced upon his house due to the sins of his sons, Hophni and Phinehas. Cultural and Historical Background: Eli served as a priest and judge of Israel at Shiloh, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. His sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were also priests but were corrupt, leading to God's judgment against Eli's house. This judgment was a significant event in Israel's history, marking a transition from the period of the judges to the establishment of the monarchy under Samuel's guidance.
