Strong's Lexicon Beth Lebaoth: Beth Lebaoth Original Word: בֵּית לְבָאוֹת Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth, meaning "house") and לְבָאוֹת (lebaoth, meaning "lions" or "lionesses"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth Lebaoth, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "house" (οἶκος, oikos) and "lion" (λέων, leon) can be found in Greek. Usage: Beth Lebaoth means "House of Lionesses." It is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the tribal allotments in the land of Canaan. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Lebaoth is a town located in the southern part of ancient Judah. The name suggests a place associated with strength and majesty, as lions were often symbols of power and royalty in ancient Near Eastern cultures. The town is part of the inheritance given to the tribe of Simeon, which was situated within the larger territory of Judah.
