Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from Hebrew roots, the name Pi-Beseth is a compound of "Pi" (mouth or opening) and "Beseth" (likely referring to the Egyptian goddess Bastet).Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Pi-Beseth, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Pi-Beseth is used in the context of a geographical location in the Bible, specifically mentioned in the prophetic literature. Context: Pi-Beseth is identified as a city in ancient Egypt, known for its association with the worship of the Egyptian goddess Bastet, often depicted as a lioness or a domestic cat. The city is mentioned in the book of Ezekiel as part of a prophecy against Egypt. In Ezekiel 30:17 (BSB), it is stated: "The young men of On and Pi-Beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity." This reference highlights the impending judgment and desolation that would come upon the city as part of the broader divine judgment against Egypt. Historically, Pi-Beseth is equated with the city of Bubastis, located in the Nile Delta, which was a significant center for the worship of Bastet. The city's prominence in the ancient world is underscored by its religious significance and its mention in biblical prophecy.
