In the biblical context, wells were vital for survival, agriculture, and settlement. They often served as communal gathering places and were sometimes sites of significant events or covenants.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, wells were crucial for sustaining life and were often associated with divine provision and blessing. They were strategically important and could be a source of conflict, as control over water resources was essential for the prosperity of a community. Wells were also places where social interactions occurred, such as meetings and negotiations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>an Aramaic form of <a href="/hebrew/1265.htm">berosh</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>cypress or fir<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cypresses (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">בְּרוֺת</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> id.
