Subjects in this Topic:

(Heb. Beyth Haran', áֵּéú äָøָï , a variation of Beth-Haram; Sept. ἡ ÂáéèáñÜí ), one of the “fenced cities” on the east of Jordan, “built” by the Gadites (Num_32:36). It is named with Beth-nimrah, and therefore is no doubt the same place as BETH-ARAM SEE BETH-ARAM (q.v.), accurately Beth-haram (Jos_13:27). The name is not found in the lists of the towns of Moab in Isaiah (Isaiah 15, 16), Jeremiah (Jeremiah 48), and Ezekiel (Eze_25:9).
