Beit Oved (Hebrew: בֵּית עוֹבֵד||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 its population was .
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)[1] 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)[2]
The moshav was founded in 1933 by a group of veteran farmers,[3] 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.[4] 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.[5]
