Beth-Nimrah in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism
Metaphysical meaning of Beth-nimrah (mbd) Beth-nimrah, beth-nlm'-rah (Heb.)-- house of spots; speckled house; house of leopard (so-called because of his spots); place of flowing pure water; house of limpid sweet water. A city of Gad that had been taken from the Amorites (Num. 32:36). Meta."Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil" (Jer. 13:23). Beth-nimrah (house of spots, speckled house, house of leopard; a city that had belonged to the Amorites) signifies a very iniquitous state of thought and activity in the Amoritish phase of man's consciousness. Place of flowing pur e water, house of limpid sweet water, meanings that are also contained in the name, Beth-nimrah, bespeak the truly cleansing character of life, life being in reality spiritual and manifesting spiritually when it is directed by high, true, spiritual thinking. (Beth-nimrah was taken from the Amorites, destroyed, and rebuilt by the Israelitish tribe of Gad. It was fortified by them and was made a sheepfold; sheep refer to the pure, natural life in man.)
