Beth-Haram

VIEW:51 DATA:01-04-2020
BETH-HARAM was situated ‘in the valley-plain of the Jordan’ (Jos_13:27). In Num_32:36 Bethharan. Its site has been recovered at Tell Râmeh at the mouth of the Wady Hesbân, 6 miles east from the familiar bathing-place of pilgrims in the Jordan. It was rebuilt and fortified by Herod Antipas when he became tetrarch, and in honour of the Roman empress was called Livias or Libias. Merrill (East of the Jordan, p. 383) gives reasons for believing that it was in the palace here that Herod celebrated his birthday by the feast recorded (Mat_14:6-12, Mar_6:21-28), and that the Baptist’s head was brought hither from Machærus, some 20 miles south.

beth-hā?ram (בּית הרם, bēth hārām; Βαιθαράν, Baitharán; Codex Alexandrinus, Βαιθαρρά, Baitharrá; the King James Version wrongly, Beth-Aram): An Amorite city taken and fortified by the Gadites (Jos_13:27; Num_32:36; in the latter passage the name appears as Beth-haran, probably the original form). It corresponds to Bēthramphtha of Josephus (Ant., XVIII, ii, 1), which, according to Eusebius, was the name used by the Syrians. Here was a palace of Herod (Ant., XVII, x, 6; BJ, II, iv, 2). Eusebius, Onomasticon says it was called Livias. Josephus says it was fortified by Herod Antipas, who called it Julias for the wife of Augustus (Ant., XVIII, ii, 1; BJ, II, ix, 1). The name would be changed to Julias when Livia, by the will of the emperor, was received into the Gens Julia. It is represented by Tell er-Rāmeh in Wādy Ḥesbān, about 6 miles East of Jordan.
