Brown-Driver-Briggs בַּתרַֿבִּים proper name, of a location (daughter of multitudes) appellation of populous city of Heshbon, or of its gate, Cant 7:5 ("" חֶשְׁבּוֺן). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from בַּת (bat, meaning "daughter") and רַבִּים (rabbim, meaning "many" or "multitude").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for בּת רַבִּים in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as this is a specific Hebrew idiom. However, similar concepts of beauty, prominence, and community can be found in Greek terms related to cities or significant locations, such as πόλις (polis, meaning "city") or terms describing beauty and stature. Usage: The term בּת רַבִּים is used in the context of describing a notable location, often in a poetic or metaphorical sense. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible but carries a significant connotation when it appears. Context: The term בּת רַבִּים appears in the context of biblical poetry and prophecy, where it is used to evoke imagery of a place of prominence or beauty. In Song of Solomon 7:4, the phrase is used to describe the beauty and stature of the beloved, likening her to a tower of ivory. The imagery suggests a place that is both elevated and admired, much like a city that stands out among many. The use of "daughter" in this context is metaphorical, indicating a relationship of belonging or origin, while "many" or "multitude" suggests a connection to a larger community or group. This term reflects the rich poetic language of the Hebrew Bible, where physical beauty and spiritual significance are often intertwined.
