Strong's Lexicon Bthuw'el: Bethuel Original Word: בְּתוּאֵל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בַּיִת (bayith, meaning "house") and אֵל (El, meaning "God"), thus "house of God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Bethuel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates it as Βαθουήλ (Bathouel). Usage: Bethuel is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "house of God." It is used to refer to a specific individual, the son of Nahor and Milcah, and the father of Rebekah and Laban. Bethuel is a patriarchal figure within the family lineage of Abraham, playing a significant role in the ancestral narratives of the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In the patriarchal society of the ancient Near East, family lineage and heritage were of utmost importance. Bethuel, as a member of Abraham's extended family, is part of the broader narrative of God's covenantal promises to Abraham and his descendants. His daughter Rebekah becomes the wife of Isaac, Abraham's son, further intertwining the familial and covenantal relationships that are central to the biblical narrative.
