It is used in the Old Testament to describe the physical belly or stomach, as well as the womb, emphasizing the place of gestation and birth. The term can also metaphorically refer to the innermost part of a person, indicating deep emotions or desires.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the womb was considered a sacred place where life was formed and nurtured. The concept of the womb was often associated with God's creative power and blessing, as children were seen as a heritage from the Lord. The physical belly was also a symbol of sustenance and life, as it was the center of digestion and nourishment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/990.htm">beten</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"depression," a city in Asher<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Beten (1).<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> II. <font class="hebrew2">בֶּ֫טֶן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>city in Asher</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/19-25.htm">Joshua 19:25</a> (= <em>depression, basin, vally</em> ? compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb010601.gif"> Lane<sup>220col. 3</sup>) = <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Βατναί</font>, called <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Βωθβετεν</font> compare Lag<sup>Onom. 236, 2nd ed. 249</sup>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Βαιθοκ</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Βετελ</font> <p>II. <font class="hebrew2">בטן</font> (asumed as √ of follwing; meaning unknown). <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>Beten <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/990.htm">beten</a>; Beten.
