Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בַּיִת (bayith), meaning "house." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Bajith, as it is a specific proper noun related to a location in the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of a "house" or "temple" can be related to Greek terms such as οἶκος (oikos) or ναός (naos), which are used in the New Testament to denote a house or temple, respectively. Usage: The term Bajith appears in the context of a place associated with Moab, specifically mentioned in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament. Context: Bajith is referenced in the book of Isaiah, specifically in Isaiah 15:2. The passage describes a lamentation over Moab, where the people go up to the temple (Bajith) and to Dibon to weep. This indicates that Bajith was a significant religious site, possibly a temple or sanctuary, within Moabite territory. The context suggests a place of worship or a high place where the Moabites would express their grief and seek divine intervention during times of distress. The mention of Bajith alongside Dibon, another Moabite city, underscores its importance in the religious and cultural practices of the Moabites.
