Beth-haccerem
From BibleWiki
(Redirected from Bethhaccerem)
Meaning: house of a vineyard
A place in the tribe of Judah (Neh 3:14) where the Benjamites were to set up a beacon when they heard the trumpet against the invading army of the Babylonians (Jer 6:1).
It is probable that this place is the modern 'Ain Karim, or "well of the vineyards," near which there is a ridge on which are cairns which may have served as beacons of old, one of which is 40 feet high and 130 in diameter.
