Usage: The term בְּאָה is used to denote an entrance or doorway, specifically referring to the point of entry into a structure or building.

Context: The Hebrew word בְּאָה (be'ah) is a noun that signifies an entrance or doorway, particularly in the context of a building. This term is rooted in the verb בּוֹא (bo), which broadly means "to come" or "to enter," indicating the action of moving into a space. In biblical usage, בְּאָה is often associated with the physical threshold or entry point of a structure, serving as a literal and sometimes symbolic boundary between the outside world and the interior of a building. The concept of an entrance in biblical literature can carry significant theological implications, representing access, transition, and the movement from one state or realm to another. While בְּאָה itself is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, its root and related terms are prevalent, underscoring the importance of entryways in both physical and metaphorical contexts.
