In the arid regions of the ancient Near East, wells were vital for survival, providing water for drinking, agriculture, and livestock. The term is used both literally and metaphorically in the Bible, symbolizing life, sustenance, and sometimes spiritual truth.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, wells were essential for sustaining life in the desert and semi-arid regions. They were often communal resources, and disputes over water rights were common, as seen in the narratives of the Patriarchs. Wells also served as social gathering places and were sometimes associated with significant events or divine encounters, such as Hagar's encounter with the angel of the Lord at a well (Genesis 16:7-14).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1197.htm">baar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>beasts, cattle<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>animal (1), beasts (4), cattle (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">בְּעִיר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Ex 22:4</sup> <font size="+1"><b>beasts, cattle</b></font>, collective (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, Aramaic <em>id.</em>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb012901.gif">, Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb012902.gif"> etc., Sabean <font class="hebrew2">בער</font> DHM<sup>ZMG 1876, 674;
