<p> ( '''''Βηξέθ''''' ), a place at which [[Bacchides]] encamped after leaving Jerusalem, and where there was i a '''''‘''''' great pit" ( '''''Τὸ''''' '''''Φρέαρ''''' '''''Τὸ''''' '''''Μέγα''''' , 1 [[Maccabees]] 7:19). By [[Josephus]] (Ant. 12, 10, 2) the name is given (in the account parallel with 1 Maccabees 9:4) as "the village Beth-zetho" ( '''''Κώμη''''' '''''Βηθζηθὼ''''' '''''Λεγομένη''''' ), which recalls the name applied to the Mount of [[Olives]] in the early [[Syriac]] recension of the N.T. published by Mr. [[Cure]] ''Ton-Beth-Zaith'' (which, however, is simply a translation of the name = [[Hebrew]] '''''בֵּית''''' '''''זִיִת''''' , ''Olive-House'' ) ''.'' The name may thus refer either to the main body of the Mount of Olives, or to the eminence opposite it to the! north of Jerusalem, which at a later period was called BEZETHA (See [[Bezetha]]) (q.v.). Pococke (East, II, 1, 19) speaks of seeing "a long cistern" in this quarter of the city, and several tanks are delineated here on modern plans of Jerusalem. </p> <p> ( 1 Maccabees 7:19) is considered by Lieut. Conder (Tent-work, 2, 335) as the modern Beit Zdta; but he gives no further details. </p> | |||
