Beyt Haeli

the Bethelite

A native or inhabitant of Bethel, the city located in the territory of Ephraim. The term specifically identifies a person’s origin or domicile as Bethel, functioning as a gentilic formation (denoting an inhabitant). While most occurrences indicate simply a person from Bethel, it can also function as part of personal references (e.g., designating Elisha's origin in 2 Kings 2:3), distinguishing them from other Israelites or people groups.
