Beersheba in Genesis 22
beer-SHEE-buh
This place shows up in Genesis 22:19: “So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 22:19
“So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba. Abraham lived at Beersheba.”
