Strong's Lexicon Beth Kar: House of the Lamb or House of the Pasture Original Word: בֵּית כַּר Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith) meaning "house" and כַּר (kar) meaning "pasture" or "lamb." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth Kar, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, related concepts might be found in Greek terms for "house" (οἶκος, oikos) or "pasture" (νομὴ, nomē). Usage: Beth Kar is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. It is used to denote a specific location that played a role in the historical narrative of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Kar is mentioned in the context of the battle between the Israelites and the Philistines during the time of the prophet Samuel. The name itself suggests a pastoral setting, which is consistent with the agrarian lifestyle of ancient Israel. The location is indicative of the rural and tribal nature of early Israelite society, where places were often named for their geographical or economic significance.
