It can also denote a household, including the family or people residing within the house. In a broader sense, "Bayith" is used to describe the temple or the house of God, emphasizing a place of worship and divine presence. The term can also metaphorically represent a dynasty or lineage, as in the "house of David."<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "Bayith" extended beyond a mere physical structure. It was central to family life, social identity, and religious practice. The house was a place of shelter, community, and hospitality. The temple, referred to as the "house of the LORD," was the spiritual center of Israelite worship, symbolizing God's dwelling among His people. The idea of a "house" also carried connotations of legacy and continuity, as seen in the promises made to David regarding his royal lineage.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בַּ֫יִת</font> with article <font class="hebrew2">הַבַּיִת</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/15-2.htm">Isaiah 15:2</a> according to Ew Brd Di and others <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> but abbreviated; perhaps for <font class="hebrew2">בֵּית דִּבְלָתַיִם</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/48-22.htm">Jeremiah 48:22</a> (so Ew and others) or <font class="hebrew2">בֵּית בָּמוֺת</font> compare MI<sup>27</sup> (compare De Di); others (Ges De Che Or) take <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הַבּ</font> here = <em>the house</em>, i.e. temple or shrine. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Bajith <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/1004.htm">bayith</a>; Bajith, a place in Palestine -- Bajith. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1004.htm">bayith</a> <div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><a href="/hebrew/veit_1004.htm">ḇêṯ- — 61 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veitah_1004.htm">ḇê·ṯāh — 4 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veitech_1004.htm">ḇê·ṯêḵ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veitecha_1004.htm">ḇê·ṯe·ḵā — 11 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veiti_1004.htm">ḇê·ṯî — 6 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veito_1004.htm">ḇê·ṯōw — 12 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/velabbayit_1004.htm">wə·lab·bā·yiṯ — 7 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/bayta_1005.htm">bay·ṯā — 4 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/baytah_1005.htm">bay·ṯāh — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/bayteh_1005.htm">bay·ṯêh — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/beveit_1005.htm">bə·ḇêṯ — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/beveiti_1005.htm">bə·ḇê·ṯî — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/levayteh_1005.htm">lə·ḇay·ṯêh — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/leveit_1005.htm">lə·ḇêṯ — 5 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/uvatteichon_1005.htm">ū·ḇāt·tê·ḵō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/uvaytah_1005.htm">ū·ḇay·ṯāh — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/uvayteh_1005.htm">ū·ḇay·ṯêh — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/uveit_1005.htm">ū·ḇêṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vayteh_1005.htm">ḇay·ṯêh — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/veit_1005.htm">ḇêṯ- — 4 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1005.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1005"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1005" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1006a.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1006a"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1006a" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
