Berean Strong's Lexicon Belteshatstsar: Belteshazzar Original Word: בֵּלְטְשַׁאצַּר Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Belteshatstsar Pronunciation: bel-te-shats-tsar Phonetic Spelling: (bale-tesh-ats-tsar') Definition: Belteshazzar Meaning: Belteshatstsar Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Belteshazzar in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew and Aramaic texts of the Old Testament. Usage: Belteshazzar is the Babylonian name given to Daniel, a Hebrew prophet, by the chief official of King Nebuchadnezzar's court. The name reflects the Babylonian practice of renaming captives to assimilate them into their culture and religion, often invoking the protection of their gods. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, names held significant meaning and were often linked to the gods worshiped by the people. The renaming of Daniel to Belteshazzar was part of the broader strategy of the Babylonian Empire to integrate conquered peoples by immersing them in Babylonian culture and religion. This practice was intended to weaken the captives' ties to their own heritage and gods, thereby ensuring loyalty to Babylon.
