Strong's Lexicon Beth-tappuach: House of the Apple Original Word: בַּית תַּפּוּחַ Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth) meaning "house" and תַּפּוּחַ (tappuach) meaning "apple" or "fruit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth-tappuach in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Beth-tappuach is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a town in the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. The name suggests a location associated with apple trees or orchards, indicating a fertile area. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, place names often reflected geographical features or agricultural products. Apples, or similar fruits, were valued in the ancient Near East for their sweetness and nutritional value. The town of Beth-tappuach would have been recognized for its fruit production, contributing to the sustenance and economy of the region. The town's location within Judah's territory highlights its inclusion in the inheritance of one of the prominent tribes of Israel.
