Lebaoth; a city in the southern district of Judah, also called Beth-Lebaoth
This place name appears in Joshua 15:32, in the list of cities in Judah's Negev region. The same location appears as 'Beth-Lebaoth' (House of Lebaoth) in Joshua 19:6. The name may mean 'lionesses' or relate to a local deity/feature. Its precise location remains unknown, though it was among settlements in the southern wilderness frontier. The alternation between Lebaoth and Beth-Lebaoth shows how place names could vary with or without the 'house of' prefix.

1. sense 1 — A town name in Judah's southern territory, possibly meaning 'lionesses' or 'houses of lionesses.' The Joshua 15 list systematically records Negev settlements for tribal inheritance. Spanish 'Lebaot,' French/German variants 'Levaoth' preserve the place name across languages. The LXX's varied transliterations (Batharioth, Bethlebooth) reflect textual uncertainty but confirm recognition of this as a distinct location. The site's loss to history mirrors many smaller Negev settlements that didn't survive changing political fortunes. 1×
