Berean Strong's Lexicon Beth Palet: House of Escape Original Word: בֵּית פָּלֶט Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith, meaning "house") and פָּלַט (palat, meaning "escape" or "deliverance"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth Palet, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "escape" or "deliverance" can be related to Greek words like σωτηρία (soteria, meaning "salvation" or "deliverance"). Usage: Beth Palet is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the tribal allotments of Judah. The name suggests a place of refuge or deliverance, possibly indicating its historical or geographical significance as a safe haven. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Palet is listed among the cities in the southern part of the territory of Judah. The region was known for its varied topography, including desert areas and fertile lands, which played a significant role in the agricultural and pastoral lifestyle of its inhabitants. The name "House of Escape" may reflect its strategic importance as a place of safety or its role in providing refuge during times of conflict or distress.
