Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth Hayshimoth in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Beth Hayshimoth is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a location on the eastern side of the Jordan River, near the Dead Sea. The name suggests a place characterized by desolation or wilderness. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Hayshimoth was situated in the territory allotted to the tribe of Reuben after the Israelites entered the Promised Land. It was located in the plains of Moab, an area known for its proximity to the Dead Sea and its arid, desolate landscape. The region was significant during the Israelites' journey from Egypt to Canaan, serving as a staging ground before crossing the Jordan River.
