Strong's Lexicon Beth-dagon: House of Dagon Original Word: בֵּית־דָּגוֹן Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith) meaning "house" and דָּגוֹן (Dagon), the name of a Philistine deity. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth-dagon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Beth-dagon refers to a location named after the Philistine god Dagon. It is used in the Bible to denote specific places associated with this deity, indicating the presence of a temple or a significant site of worship dedicated to Dagon. Cultural and Historical Background: Dagon was a major deity in the ancient Near East, particularly among the Philistines. He was often associated with fertility and grain, and his worship was widespread in the region. The name Beth-dagon suggests a place where Dagon was venerated, possibly containing a temple or shrine. The presence of such sites indicates the influence of Philistine culture and religion in certain areas of ancient Israel.
