Berean Strong's Lexicon Beth Nimrah: Beth Nimrah Original Word: בֵּית נִמְרָה Word Origin: Derived from בַּיִת (bayith, meaning "house") and נִמְרָה (nimrah, meaning "leopard" or "pure") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth Nimrah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Beth Nimrah means "house of the leopard" or "house of purity." It is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically as a city in the territory of Gad, east of the Jordan River. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Nimrah was situated in the region of Gilead, an area known for its fertile land and strategic location. The city was part of the inheritance given to the tribe of Gad when the Israelites settled in the Promised Land. The name suggests a place of strength and purity, possibly indicating the presence of leopards in the area or a symbolic reference to the purity of the waters or the land.
