Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from בַּיִת (bayith, meaning "house") and גִּלְגָּל (Gilgal, meaning "circle" or "wheel").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for this specific Hebrew proper noun in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a unique place name without a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. However, the concept of "house" (οἶκος, oikos) and "circle" or "wheel" (κύκλος, kyklos) can be found in Greek, though they are not used to translate this specific term.

Usage: This proper noun refers to a specific location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is a place name that appears in the context of territorial boundaries.

Context: Beth-hag-Gilgal is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the territorial boundaries of the tribe of Judah. The name combines "Beth," meaning "house," with "Gilgal," a term often associated with a circle of stones or a place of rolling. The site is noted in Joshua 15:7, where it is described as part of the boundary line of Judah's inheritance. The exact location of Beth-hag-Gilgal is not definitively known today, but it is believed to be in the vicinity of the Jordan River, near the ancient city of Jericho. The name suggests a place of significance, possibly related to the broader region of Gilgal, which holds historical and religious importance in Israel's early history, particularly as a site of encampment and religious ceremonies.
