Places of the Bible

Beth-haccherem

Where the name appears

Events told in passages that name Beth-haccherem, and how many of their verses do. That is not the same as saying they happened here: a place can be named as a landmark, as somewhere being travelled to, or as the subject of a prophecy.

  • Prophecies of Jeremiah · 627 BC · 1 verse

Easton’s Bible Dictionary

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.

From M. G. Easton, Illustrated Bible Dictionary (1893), in the public domain.
