However, related concepts might include Greek terms for "well" or "tree," such as φρέαρ (phrear, G5421, meaning "well") or δένδρον (dendron, G1186, meaning "tree").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Beer Elim is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "Well of the Terebinths" or "Well of the Mighty Ones." It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, wells were vital for survival, especially in arid regions. They were often associated with significant events or divine encounters. The terebinth tree, known for its strength and longevity, was a common symbol of endurance and might. The combination of a well and terebinths in the name Beer Elim suggests a place of sustenance and strength, possibly a significant stop for the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/875.htm">beer</a> and <a href="/hebrew/410.htm">el</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"well of heroes," a city of Moab<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Beer-elim (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Beer-elim <p>From <a href="/hebrew/875.htm">'er</a> and the plural of <a href="/hebrew/410.htm">'el</a>; well of heroes; Beer-Elim, a place in the Desert -- Beer-elim. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/875.htm">'er</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/410.htm">'el</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אֵילִ֖ים אילים ’ê·lîm ’êlîm eiLim<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/15-8.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 15:8</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/15.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">יִלְלָתָ֔הּ וּבְאֵ֥ר <b> אֵילִ֖ים </b> יִלְלָתָֽהּ׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/15.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and its wailing <span class="itali">even to Beer-elim.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/15.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and the howling <span class="itali">thereof unto Beerelim.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/15-8.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Eglaim wail <span class="itali">to Beer-elim</span> wail<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_879.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_879.htm">Strong's Hebrew 879<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/eilim_879.htm">’ê·lîm — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/878.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="878"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="878" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/880.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="880"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="880" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
