Be’er Sheva
b’-AYR SHE-va
Beersheba is often mentioned in the Bible as the southern boundary of Jewish settlement in ancient Israel. It was a vital city in biblical times, and all three patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, spent time there (Genesis 21:33-34, 22:19, 26:23-33, 28:10).
In contemporary Israel, Beersheba is known as “the capital of the Negev Desert.”
The Israel Bible is the world’s first Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) centered around the Land of Israel, the People of Israel, and the dynamic relationship between them.
