It conveys the idea of something that is of superior quality or abundance. In the agricultural society of ancient Israel, having "beri" livestock or produce was a sign of prosperity and divine blessing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture and livestock were central to daily life and the economy. The quality of one's livestock or produce was not only a measure of wealth but also a reflection of God's favor. The term "beri" would have been understood as a positive attribute, indicating that something was not only sufficient but abundant and of the best quality. This concept is deeply rooted in the agrarian culture of the time, where the health and quality of one's resources were vital for survival and prosperity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/7377.htm">ri</a>.<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">בְּרִי</font>], <font class="hebrew2">בִּרְיָה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">בִּרִיא</font> below II. <font class="hebrew2">ברא</font>. </p><br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>fat <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1262.htm">barah</a>; fat -- fat. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1262.htm">barah</a> <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><a href="/hebrew/vaiyivrach_1272.htm">way·yiḇ·raḥ — 14 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vaiyivrechu_1272.htm">way·yiḇ·rə·ḥū — 5 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/varach_1272.htm">ḇā·raḥ — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vattivrach_1272.htm">wat·tiḇ·raḥ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/venivrachah_1272.htm">wə·niḇ·rā·ḥāh — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/voreach_1272.htm">ḇō·rê·aḥ — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yavriach_1272.htm">yaḇ·rî·aḥ — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yavrichennu_1272.htm">yaḇ·rî·ḥen·nū — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yivrach_1272.htm">yiḇ·rāḥ — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yivrechu_1272.htm">yiḇ·rə·ḥū — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/uveri_1275.htm">ū·ḇê·rî — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/habberim_1276.htm">hab·bê·rîm — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/bari_1277.htm">bā·rî — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/beriah_1277.htm">bə·ri·’āh — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/beriim_1277.htm">bə·ri·’îm — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/beriot_1277.htm">bə·rî·’ō·wṯ — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/habberiah_1277.htm">hab·bə·rî·’āh — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/habberiot_1277.htm">hab·bə·rî·’ō·wṯ — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/uvari_1277.htm">ū·ḇā·rî — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/uveriei_1277.htm">ū·ḇə·rî·’ê — 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/1273.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1273"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1273" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1275.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1275"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1275" /></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>
