Beersheba in Genesis 46
beer-SHEE-buh
This place shows up in Genesis 46:1: “Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 46:1
“Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.”
