beth-ar´a-ba (בּית הערבה, beÌ„th haÌ„-‛ăraÌ„bhaÌ„h; ΒαιθαÏαβαÌ, BaitharabaÌ, “place of the Arabahâ€):
(1) One of the 6 cities of Judah “in the wilderness†(), on the borders of Benjamin and Judah (; Septuagint). “The wilderness of Judah†is the barren land West of the Dead Sea. Beth-arabah is not yet identified.
(2) One of the cities of Benjamin (). Septuagint (Codex Vaticanus) reads Baithabara, and this may be correct. The names are early confounded. See BETHABARA.
