Strong's Lexicon Beth Haarabah: Beth Haarabah Original Word: בֵּית הָעֲרָבָה Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth, meaning "house") and הָעֲרָבָה (ha'arabah, meaning "the desert" or "the plain"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth Haarabah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Beth Haarabah is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a location in the wilderness or desert region. The name can be translated as "House of the Desert" or "House of the Plain," indicating its geographical setting in a barren or flat area. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Haarabah is mentioned in the context of the tribal allotments in the Book of Joshua. It is located in the wilderness of Judah, near the Dead Sea. This region was known for its arid and harsh conditions, which shaped the lifestyle and survival strategies of its inhabitants. The wilderness was often seen as a place of testing and encounter with God, as seen in the experiences of the Israelites during their exodus journey.
