    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Numbers 32:36 the form occurs in a list described by the APB as “fortified cities and sheepfolds”; in Joshua 13:27 the APB renders it within a valley list and the boundary of the remainder of Sihon’s kingdom.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Beth-nimrah” in both verses, once in a list of fortified cities and once in a valley and boundary description. It confirms the place-list context rather than isolating further nuance.
