Betane

Bet'ane (Βετάνη v. r. Βλιτάνη, i.e. prob. Βαιτάνη; Vulg. omits), a place apparently south of Jerusalem (Judith 1:9), and, according to Reland (Palaest. p. 625), identical with the AIN SEE AIN (q.v.) of Jos 21:16, and the Bethanin (Βηθανίν) of Eusebius (Onom. Α᾿ρί, Ain), two miles from the Terebinth of Abraham and four from Hebron. Others, with less probability, compare it with BETEN SEE BETEN (q.v.). SEE CHELLUS.
