Beit Oved ( Hebrew: בֵּית עוֹבֵד, lit. 'House of Worker' or 'House of Obed') is a moshav in central Israel. Located on the outskirts of Ness Ziona, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gan Raveh Regional Council. In 2022 its population was 259. [1]
The name is based on one of two biblical passages: And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed- edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed the house of Obed- edom, and all that he had. (1 Chronicles 13:14) [2] or: He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding. ( Proverbs 12:11) [3]
The moshav was founded in 1933 by a group of veteran farmers, [4] as part of the Settlement of the Thousand plan, a response to the 1929 Palestine riots in which small farm settlements were built on the outskirts of Jewish towns and moshavot to improve security. [5] A grove of oak trees was planted on the hilltop adjacent to the synagogue and community center to commemorate people from the region who died during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt. [6]
