Beth-Hoglah
beth-hogla ( , beth-hoghlah; Septuagint , Baithaglaam, house of partridge): Mentioned in Jos 15:6; Jos 18:19, identified with Ain Hajlah (partridge spring) lying between Jericho and the Jordan, where in 1874 there was still a ruined Greek monastery called Kasr Hajlah, dating from the 12th century. The ruins are now destroyed. In Jos 15:5; Jos 18:19 it is said to be at the mouth of the Jordan on a Tongue (Lisan) of the Salt Sea. But it is now several miles inland, probably because the Jordan has silt edition up a delta to that extent. See DEAD SEA.
