Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith, H1004) meaning "house" and עֵדֶן (Eden, H5731) meaning "pleasure" or "delight."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth-Eden in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a location in the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of "Eden" as a place of delight can be related to the Greek word παράδεισος (paradeisos, G3857), which is used in the Septuagint to translate the Garden of Eden and later in the New Testament to refer to paradise.

Usage: Beth-Eden is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a region or place associated with pleasure or delight. It is mentioned in the context of a kingdom or region that was subject to Assyrian conquest.

Context: Beth-Eden is referenced in the Old Testament as a region or principality that was part of the Aramean kingdom. It is specifically mentioned in Amos 1:5, where the prophet Amos speaks of the judgment against Damascus, stating, "I will break the gate bar of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler of the Valley of Aven and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-Eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir," says the LORD (BSB). This indicates that Beth-Eden was a significant location within the Aramean territories, possibly known for its prosperity or pleasantness. The exact geographical location of Beth-Eden is not definitively known, but it is often associated with the region of Bit-Adini, located along the Euphrates River, which was known for its fertile lands and strategic importance. The historical context suggests that Beth-Eden was a place of some prominence before falling under Assyrian control.
