Beth
Bêyth Nimrâh is a proper name designating a settlement east of the Jordan River, understood to mean 'House of Nimrah' or 'House of the Leopard.' In biblical contexts, it refers specifically to a locality in the territory allotted to the tribe of Gad, situated in the northern part of the plains of Moab. The semantic range centers primarily on its role as a geographic toponym but also semantically contains the sense of a place characterized by or associated with the leopard or, possibly, abundant wildlife.
