Context: Beth-Ashtaroth is a significant location mentioned in the Old Testament, particularly in the context of the territorial allotments of the tribes of Israel. It is identified as a city in the region of Bashan, which was part of the territory given to the half-tribe of Manasseh. The city is noted for its association with the worship of Ashtaroth, a prominent deity in Canaanite religion. This connection suggests that Beth-Ashtaroth was a center of religious activity, possibly housing a temple dedicated to the goddess. The city's mention in the Bible highlights the cultural and religious influences present in the region during the time of the Israelite settlement. In the Berean Standard Bible, Beth-Ashtaroth is referenced in Joshua 12:4: "And the territory of Og king of Bashan, one of the remnant of the Rephaim, who lived at Ashtaroth and Edrei."
