Where is Beth-anoth in the Bible?
Beth-anoth was a town located in the hill country of Judah, mentioned in Joshua 15:59 as part of the list of cities and villages allocated to the tribe of Judah during the conquest and division of Canaan. The town was situated in the central highlands of ancient Judah, in a region that included other settlements like Gedor. While the exact modern location remains uncertain, archaeologists have identified probable sites where surface ruins from later periods have been found. Beth-anoth's primary biblical significance lies in its inclusion in the territorial records that documented God's allocation of the Promised Land to the Israelite tribes.
