Meaning and etymology of the Hebrew name Bileam
|
|
| | |
Bileam 
Bileam, is a town in Manasseh (1 Chronicles 6:70), also known as Ibleam (Joshua 17:11). In Hebrew the name Bileam is spelled and pronounced exactly the same as the name Balaam. Please see that name for meaning and etymology.
Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names refers without further ado to the name Balaam. BDB Theological Dictionary does not translate Bileam. NOBS Study Bible Name List probably goes with the Hebrew verb (bala'), swallow up, and reads a very liberal Greed.
