The Toponym Khirbet el-Aʿraj and the Site Identification of Bethsaida-Julias
2023
Overview
The origin and meaning of the Arabic toponym Khirbet el-Aʿraj have remained a mystery. It is of little wonder. The name has coursed through a philological maze of Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and Arabic over a span of time from the days of the New Testament, the Byzantines, the Ottomans, and reaching into the nineteenth-century rediscovery of the Holy Land. In this study, we will trace its course with some surprising results. We will find that its beginnings lie in a well-known New Testament account that was set in Jerusalem, but that its subsequent journey north can provide evidence for an equally elusive question — the site identification of Roman period Bethsaida-Julias.
