Numerous authors have presented a chain of evidence connecting Beth-Haram from the Book of Joshua (Josh. 13:27), considered to be the same as Bethharan from Numbers (Num. 32:36),[2] with Talmudic Beit Ramata (Hebrew: בית רמתה)[3] and Roman-period Betharamtha (Βηθαραμθα)[dubious – discuss] or Betharamphtha.[4][5]
