But it really doesn't surprise me too much when Bethesda makes references like that because the name bethesda is a reference to the pool of Bethesda in the bible, a place where the sick and ailed would go to be healed. I know its pretty nerdy but I think that its cool that bethesda bases a lot of their work on ancient historical records and legends, they are a gifted bunch if you ask me Bethesda makes all kinds of references throughout Skyrim. Such as the daedric lord Dagon. His name was taken from a god of I think the Amorites? I don't remember specifically who, but they were at war with the Israelites and managed to take the Arc of the Covenant from them at one point. And I'm sure these are not the only historical references by any means.
