It is understood to mean "House of Binding" or "House of Shearing," likely referring to a location associated with the binding or shearing of sheep. This term is used to denote a specific geographical location rather than a general concept.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, sheep shearing was a significant agricultural activity, often associated with festivals and gatherings. The naming of places like Beth-eqed reflects the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites and the importance of livestock in their economy and culture. Such locations would have been central to community life, serving as places for trade, social interaction, and economic activity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1004.htm">bayith</a> and <a href="/hebrew/6123.htm">aqad</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"house of binding," a place in Pal.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Beth-eked (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בֵּיתעֵֿ֫קֶד הָרֹעִים</font> perhaps <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (<em>binding-house of the shepherds</em>) <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/10-12.htm">2 Kings 10:12</a>; compare <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/10-14.htm">2 Kings 10:14</a> <font class="hebrew2">בּוֺר</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">עֿ</font><font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בּ</font>; <em>Bethacath</em> Jerome Lag<sup>Onom. 107. 17. 2nd ed. 141</sup>; — modern <em>Beit Kâd</em> near Mt Gilboa (<i><em>Fu‡u±a</em></i>) according to Survey<sup>ii. 83</sup>; but compare <font class="hebrew2">בַּיִת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <p> <font class="hebrew2">עֵ֫קֶד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> ?
