Beth-phage

A well - known village, mentioned in the gospel, (see Matt. xxi. 1.) It should seem to be derived from Pep, opening; and Geeah, valley: the house of the valley. Probably, the opening of the valley at the foot of the mount of Olives. Here it was that Christ fulfilled that remarkable prophecy of Zechariah. (Zech. ix. 9. with Matt. xxi. 4, 5. Mark xi. 1. Luke xix. 28. John x2: 14.)

Beth-pha-ge. (Hard G). (house of figs). The name of a place, on the Mount of Olives, on the road between Jericho and Jerusalem. It was, apparently, close to Bethany. Mat 21:1; Mar 11:1; Luk 19:29.
