    Description

    Betonim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Betonim was a town located in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. It is mentioned in the Bible as part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Gad (Joshua 13:26). The town is listed alongside Ramath-mizpeh and Mahanaim, suggesting that it was situated in the northern part of Gad's territory. No other details are provided about Betonim's history, size, or significance. The name Betonim may be derived from the Hebrew word "beten," meaning "belly" or "valley," possibly indicating its location in a valley or lowland area.
