Beth-jeshimoth
or (as it is less correctly Anglicized in Num 33:49) Beth-jes’imoth (Heb. Beyth ha-Yeshimoth’, [in Num 33:49, ], house of the wastes; Sept. [v. r. ], but in Jos 13:20, and [v. r. , ] in Eze 25:9), a town or place not far east of Jordan, near Abel-Shittim, in the deserts () of Moab that is, on the lower level at the south end of the Jordan valley (Num 33:49)-and named with Ashdothpisgah and Beth-Peor. It was one of the limits of the encampment of Israel before crossing the Jordan. It lay within the territory of Sihon, king of the Amorites (Jos 12:3), and was allotted to Reuben (Jos 13:20), but came at last into the hands of Moab, and formed one of the cities which were the glory of the country (Eze 25:9). According to Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. , Bethsimuth) it was still called by the same name ( , Domus Isimuth), being opposite Jericho, 10 miles to the south, near the Dead Sea, meaning apparently southeast, and across the Jordan. It is evidently the Besimoth () captured by Placidus, the general of Vespasian (Josephus, War, 4, 7, 6). Schwarz (Palest. p. 228) states that there are still the ruins of a Beth-Jisimuth situated on the north- easternmost point of the Dead Sea, half a mile from the Jordan; a locality which, although reported by no other traveler, cannot be far from correct (Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 296).

Beth-Jeshimoth
BETH-JESHIMOTH (the place of the desert).The S. limit of the encampment on the plains of Moab at the close of the journeyings (Num 33:49). In Jos 12:8 it is mentioned as in the S. of the Arabah towards the Dead Sea. In Jos 13:20 it is assigned to Reuben; and in Eze 25:9 it is spoken of as belonging to Moab. Eusebius places it 10 miles S. of Jericho. Some ruins and a well at the N.E. end of the Dead Sea bear the name of Suwaimeh, which may be a modification of Jeshimoth; and this situation suits the Biblical narrative.

Beth-Jeshimoth
beth-jeshi-moth ( , beth ha-yeshmoth; Codex Vaticanus, , Haisimoth; Codex Alexandrinus, , Asimoth, and other variants (see DB, under the word)): Mentioned as the point in the south from which the camp of Israel stretched to Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab (Num 33:49). In Jos 12:3 the way to Beth-jeshimoth is described as South of the Arabah, near the Dead Sea. It was in the lot assigned to Reuben (Jos 13:20), At what times and how long it was actually held by Israel we do not know; but it appears in Eze 25:9 as belonging to Moab. It may be identical with Khirbet es-Suweimeh, where there are some ruins and a well, about 3 miles East of the mouth of the Jordan.
