Bet-Hakkerem
Beskrywing
BETH-HACKEREM
beth-ha-ke'-rem, beth-hak'-e-rem (die King James Version Beth-haccerem; beth ha-kerem; Bethachcharma (sien DB), "plek van die wingerd"): 'n distrik (in [Neh 3:14 ]) waaroor een, Malkia, regeer het; genoem in [Jer 6:1 ] as 'n geskikte seinpos. Vanweë sy assosiasie met Tekoa ([Jer 6:1 ]) en van die verklaring deur Jerome dat dit 'n dorp was wat hy daagliks van Betlehem kon sien, is die Frank-berg (Herodium) voorgestel. Dit sou beslis 'n unieke plek vir 'n baken wees. Meer geskik is die vrugbare wingerdland rondom `Ain Karem (die "fontein van die wingerd"). Bo-op Jebel `Ali, bokant hierdie dorp, is daar enkele merkwaardige kliphope wat, ongeag hul ander gebruike, blykbaar eens bakens was. `Ain Karem verskyn as Karem in die Septuagint ([Jos 15:59 ]).

Beth-haccerem
house of a vineyard, a place in the tribe of Judah (Neh 3:14 ) where the Benjamites were to set up a beacon when they heard the trumpet against the invading army of the Babylonians (Jer 6:1 ). It is probable that this place is the modern 'Ain Karim, or "well of the vineyards," near which there is a ridge on which are cairns which may have served as beacons of old, one of which is 40 feet high and 130 in diameter.
