Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Beth-Tsur, as it is a specific Hebrew place name not directly translated into Greek in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: Beth-Tsur is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a specific location. It is mentioned in the context of a town in the territory of Judah. Context: Beth-Tsur is a town located in the hill country of Judah, mentioned in the Old Testament. It is noted for its strategic position and fortifications, which made it a significant military site. The town is referenced in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah and is associated with the descendants of Caleb. In the post-exilic period, Beth-Tsur was one of the towns rebuilt by the returning exiles. The site is identified with modern-day Khirbet et-Tubeiqah, located south of Jerusalem. In the Bible, Beth-Tsur is mentioned in the context of the rebuilding efforts led by Nehemiah, as recorded in Nehemiah 3:16: "After him, Nehemiah son of Azbuk, ruler of a half-district of Beth-Zur, made repairs up to a point opposite the tombs of David, as far as the artificial pool and the House of the Mighty."
