BETH-HARAM bĕth hâr’ əm (בֵּ֣ית הָרָמ׃֩, house of height, KJV BETH-ARAM). A town allotted to the tribe of Gad at the division of Canaan among the Israelites (Josh 13:27). Doubtless the same as BETH-HARAN of Numbers 32:36. Taken from the Amorites, a high point E of the Jordan River in the Jordan valley, and fortified by the tribe of Gad to protect their families and cattle while they shared with the other tribes in the conquest W of Jordan. Believed to be the same site as Beth-aramphtha, a name used by the Syrians and mentioned by Josephus in his Antiquities. The site is now identified with the modern Tell Iktanu, eight m. NE of the mouth of the Jordan, S of the Wadi Heshban.
