Strong's Lexicon Beth Haram: Beth Haram Original Word: בֵּית הָרָם Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth), meaning "house" or "place," and הָרָם (haram), which is likely a form of רָם (ram), meaning "high" or "exalted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth Haram in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Beth Haram means "house of the exalted" or "house of height." It is used in the Bible as the name of a town located in the territory allotted to the tribe of Gad, east of the Jordan River. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Haram was one of the cities built by the tribe of Gad after the Israelites settled in the Promised Land. It was situated in the region of Gilead, an area known for its fertile land and strategic location. The town's name suggests it may have been located on elevated ground, which would have provided a natural defense and a vantage point over the surrounding area.
