Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith, meaning "house") and עֲנָת (Anath, a Canaanite goddess).Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Beth-Anath, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location not directly mentioned in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Beth-Anath is used as a proper noun referring to a location in the ancient Near East, specifically a town in the territory of Naphtali. Context: Beth-Anath is mentioned in the Old Testament as a town within the tribal allotment of Naphtali. It is noted for its association with the Canaanite goddess Anath, indicating the syncretistic religious practices that were prevalent in the region during the time of the Judges. The town is referenced in the context of the Israelites' incomplete conquest of the land, as they did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-Anath, but instead subjected them to forced labor. This is recorded in Judges 1:33: "Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath, but lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced labor for them." The mention of Beth-Anath highlights the challenges faced by the Israelites in fully occupying the Promised Land and the ongoing influence of Canaanite culture and religion.
