BETH-ARAM

BETH- ARAM house of the height; i.e., “mountain-house”, one of the towns of Gad, 3 miles east of Jordan, opposite Jericho (Joshua 13=>27). Probably the same as Beth-haran in Numbers 32=>36. It was called by king Herod, Julias, or Livias, after Livia, the wife of Augustus. It is now called Beit-haran.
