BEULAH bu’ lə (בְּעוּלָ֑ה, married, Heb. fem. passive participle of Qal stem of בָּעַל֒, H1249, to marry, rule over, LXX Οίκουμένη, inhabited). Occurs only in Isaiah 62:4 KJV (RSV “married”) where it indicates the delight the Lord will have in His land (i.e., people, “you”) in its future state of blessing. The Heb. word is elsewhere tr. “married” or its equivalent (Deut 22:22; Isa 54:1; et al.). The marriage relationship is used to portray God’s relationship with His people (Isa 54:5; Ezek 16; 23; Hos 1-3; et al.).
