Beeshterah, a Levitical city in Manasseh, possibly meaning 'house of Ashtoreth'
This place name occurs in Joshua 21:27 as one of the cities given to the Levites from the half-tribe of Manasseh. The parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 6:56 calls the same city Ashtaroth, revealing that Beeshterah is likely a variant or compound form meaning 'house of Ashtoreth' (Beth-Ashtarah). This reflects the common Semitic pattern of prefixing 'beth' (house) to deity names for sanctuaries or settlements. The site is associated with the worship of the Canaanite goddess Ashtoreth.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A toponym for a Levitical city in Transjordanian Manasseh, etymologically related to Ashtoreth/Astarte worship. The name construction suggests either 'house/temple of Ashtoreth' or represents a Hebrew adaptation of the Canaanite place name. The evidence from 1 Chronicles 6:56 using 'Ashtaroth' for the same location confirms the connection. Multilingual glosses consistently transliterate (Beeshterah, Beestera), preserving the proper-noun status rather than translating the theophoric elements. 1×
