BETH (bĕth, house). The name by which the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet is known. The Hebrew uses it also for the number two. It is the most common OT word for house. It designates a more permanent dwelling than tent. It is used often in connection with other words to form proper names, the most common of which are Bethel and Bethlehem.



BETH bĕth (ב). The second letter of the Heb. alphabet. It is used to introduce the second part of Psalm 119, where each v. of this part begins with this letter. It also came to be used for the number two (2).
