Where is Beth-pelet in the Bible?
Beth-pelet was a town located in southern Judah, specifically in the Negeb region near the border of Edom. The town is mentioned in the Book of Joshua as one of the southernmost cities allotted to the tribe of Judah during the initial settlement of Canaan. After the people of Judah returned from Babylonian exile, Beth-pelet was among the settlements they reoccupied, as recorded in the Book of Nehemiah. While the exact location of Beth-pelet remains unknown to modern scholars, its significance lies in its role as a frontier settlement that marked Judah's territorial boundaries in the arid southern regions.
