Berean Strong's Lexicon Beth Haetsel: House of the Adjoining Original Word: בֵּית הָעֵצֶל Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth, meaning "house") and הָעֵצֶל (haetsel, meaning "the side" or "the adjoining"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth Haetsel, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, Greek terms related to "house" (οἶκος, oikos) or "neighbor" (πλησίον, plēsion) might be conceptually related. Usage: Beth Haetsel is a place name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is understood to mean "House of the Adjoining" or "House of the Neighbor." The name suggests a location that is adjacent or next to another significant place. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Haetsel is mentioned in the context of the prophetic writings of Micah. The region is part of the larger geographical and cultural landscape of ancient Israel and Judah. During the time of the prophets, cities and towns were often named for their geographical features or their relationship to other locations. The name itself implies a close proximity to another notable area, which may have had implications for trade, defense, or community relations.
