Difference between revisions of "Beth-Ezel"

== Holman [[Bible]] [[Dictionary]] == Micah 1:11 == Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible == <p> <strong> BETH-EZEL </strong> ( Micah 1:11 ). [[Perhaps]] ‘place near,’ see AVm [Note: [[Authorized]] Version margin.] : mentioned with [[Zaanan]] and Shaphir. It seems to have been a place in the [[Philistine]] plain, but the site is unknown. According to some it is = <strong> [[Azel]] </strong> of Zechariah 14:5 . </p> == [[International]] Standard Bible [[Encyclopedia]] == <p> '''''beth''''' -'''''ē´zel''''' ( בּית האצל , <i> '''''bēth hā''''' </i> - <i> ''''''ēcel''''' </i> ; οῖκος ἐχόμενος αὐτῆς , <i> '''''oı́kos echómenos autḗs''''' </i> ; literally, "adjoining house"): A place named along with other cities in the Philistine plain (Micah 1:11 ). The site has not been identified. By some it is thought to be the same as Azel of Zechariah 14:5; but see [[Azel]] . </p> == [[Cyclopedia]] of Biblical, [[Theological]] and [[Ecclesiastical]] Literature == <p> (Heb. Beyth he-E'tsel, בֵּית הָאֵצֶל, house of the firm root, i.e. fixed dwelling; Sept. translates οϊ v κος ἐχόμενος αὐτῆς, "neighboring house," as in our margin), a town in Judaea, mentioned Micah 1:11, where there is an allusion to the above etymology. Ephraem Syrus understands a place near Samaria; but the context seems to locate it in the Philistine plain, perhaps at the modern Beit-Affa (Robinson, Researches, 2, 369, note), 5.25 miles S.E. of [[Ashdod]] (Van de Velde's Map). </p>
