Strong's Lexicon Beth-anoth: Beth-anoth Original Word: בֵּית עֲנוֹת Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth, meaning "house") and עֲנוֹת (anoth, meaning "response" or "affliction"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth-anoth, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, Greek entries related to "house" (οἶκος, oikos) or "response" (ἀπόκρισις, apokrisis) might be conceptually linked. Usage: Beth-anoth means "house of response" or "house of affliction." It is used in the Bible as the name of a town in the territory of Judah. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth-anoth was a town located in the hill country of Judah. The name suggests it may have been a place associated with a particular event or characteristic, such as a site of worship or a location known for a specific historical incident. The town's exact location is not definitively known today, but it was part of the inheritance of the tribe of Judah, indicating its significance in the settlement patterns of ancient Israel.
