Strong's Lexicon bithron: Ravine, gorge, or division Original Word: בִּתְרוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּתַר (batar), meaning "to cut" or "to divide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "bithron" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew geographical term. However, Greek terms related to geographical features include φαράγξ (pharags) for "ravine" or "gorge." Usage: The term "bithron" refers to a geographical feature, specifically a ravine or gorge. It is used to describe a natural division or a cut in the landscape, often characterized by steep sides and a narrow passage. In the context of the Bible, it is used to denote a specific location or terrain feature that plays a role in the narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the landscape was diverse, with many natural features such as mountains, valleys, and ravines. These geographical elements often served as natural boundaries or strategic locations in military campaigns. Ravines, like the "bithron," could provide shelter, serve as barriers, or act as routes for travel and communication. Understanding these features is crucial for interpreting the historical and narrative context of biblical events.
