Beersheba
Beersheba The most southerly place of Israel, notable for its wells and therefore suitable for pasturing sheep. There are notes in Genesis that the ancestors
Abraham,
Isaac, and
Jacob stayed there (Gen. 22: 19; 28: 10; 46: 1). The phrase ‘from
Dan to Beersheba’ was a way of indicating the full extent of Israel (2 Sam. 17: 11).
