Strong's Lexicon beten: Belly, womb, body, innermost part Original Word: בֶּטֶן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root probably meaning to be hollow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2836 κοιλία (koilia) – belly, womb - G1064 γαστήρ (gaster) – stomach, womb Usage: The Hebrew word "beten" primarily refers to the belly or womb, indicating the physical space within a person or animal. It is often used to describe the place of gestation and birth, highlighting the concept of life and creation. In a broader sense, "beten" can also refer to the innermost parts of a person, symbolizing the seat of emotions or deep-seated feelings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the womb was seen as a sacred space where life was formed and nurtured. The concept of the womb was closely tied to ideas of fertility, blessing, and the continuation of family lineage. The physical and metaphorical use of "beten" reflects the importance of family and progeny in Hebrew society, as well as the belief in God's active role in the creation and sustenance of life.
