Beth-nimrah; place name meaning 'house of leopard/clear water'
A Transjordanian city in Gad's territory whose name may mean either 'leopard place' or 'place of clear water.' The site lay east of the Jordan in the well-watered plains, and modern Tell Nimrîn preserves the name. The city appears in territorial allotments and is associated with nearby waters of Nimrim mentioned in prophetic oracles.

1. sense 1 — Beth-nimrah was assigned to Gad in the Transjordanian allotments (Numbers 32:36; Joshua 13:27). The name likely derives from נָמֵר (leopard) or relates to the 'waters of Nimrim' (מֵי נִמְרִים) mentioned in Isaiah 15:6 and Jeremiah 48:34, suggesting association with springs or clear waters. Modern Tell Nimrîn, in the Jordan valley plains east of the river, preserves the ancient name. The well-watered location made it attractive for settlement, and its mention alongside 'cities of the valley' (Numbers 32:36) confirms its placement in the Jordan valley's eastern plain. Whether 'Nimrah' refers to leopards once inhabiting the area or to the character of its water sources (perhaps clear/pure), the name connected the city to its natural environment. 2×
