Beer in the Bible

Meaning: a well

Thematic Bible



From there they traveled to the Well of Beer, where the LORD had instructed Moses, "Gather the people together and I'll give you water." That's also where Israel sang this song: Rise up, well! Sing to it! It's the well that the leaders dug, the one carved out by the nobles of the people with their scepters and staffs.


Then Jotham escaped by running away. He went to Beer and remained there because of his brother Abimelech.
