BEROTHAI or BEROTHAH. (See BEROTHAI.)

Be'rothah

Place mentioned as a north border of the land when it will again be inhabited by the twelve tribes. Eze 47:16. Supposed by some to be Beyrout.Beirut

Bero'thah

(toward the wells), Bero'-tha-i (my wells). The first of these two names is given by Ezekiel,

Eze 47:16

in connection with Hahlath and Damascus as forming part of the northern boundary of the promised land. The second is mentioned,

2Sa 8:8

in the same connection. The well-known city Beirut (Berytus) naturally suggests itself as identical with one at least of the names; but in each instance the circumstances of the case seem to require a position farther east. They were probably in the vicinity of the springs near the present Hasbeya.
