Beth-Nimrah

beth-nim'-ra (beth nimrah, "house of leopard," Num 32:36, but in verse Num 32:3 it is simply Nimrah): In Josh 13:27 the full name appears. In Isa 15:6 the name appears as Nimrim, identified as Tell Nimrim, between Jericho and the mountains on the east, where there is a fountain of large size. The city was assigned to Gad. In the 4th century AD it was located as five Roman miles North of Livias. Eusebius calls it Bethamnaram (SEP, I, Tell Nimrin).
