Beit Ula is located 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) (horizontally) on the highlands north-west of Hebron.
The PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) suggested several possible Biblical and Talmudic connections.
[6] In 1838, Edward Robinson noted Beit Ula as a Muslim village, between the mountains and Gaza, but subject to the government of Hebron.
[10] In 1883 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Beit Aula as "a small village standing on a spur surrounded with olives.
It has a well on the west in the valley, a mile away.”[3] In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Beit Ula had a population of 825 inhabitants, all Muslims,[11] increasing in the 1931 census to 1,045, still entirely Muslim, in 217 inhabited houses.
