Theological / Devotional

The shearing house. Hebrew beth-‘eqed haro‘im, “house of binding of the shepherds.” Beth-‘eqed should possibly be given as a proper name, “Beth-eked,” and the last word translated, “of the Shepherds” (see RSV). The place is probably to be identified with the Beth-akad of Eusebius and Jerome, and with the modern Beit Qad, about 3 mi. (4.8 km.) east by north from en-Gannim (Jenin). It was probably a common meeting place for the shepherds of the neighborhood.
