Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Beriah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Beriah is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: • Beriah appears in the genealogies of the tribes of Israel. There are two notable individuals named Beriah in the Old Testament:
1. Beriah, son of Asher: He is one of the sons of Asher, the eighth son of Jacob, and is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Asher. His descendants are listed among the clans of Asher. (Genesis 46:17; Numbers 26:44-45; 1 Chronicles 7:30-31)
2. Beriah, son of Ephraim: This Beriah is a descendant of Ephraim, the son of Joseph. He was born during a time of misfortune for the family, as his brothers had been killed by the men of Gath. His name reflects the circumstances of his birth, as it is said, "because disaster had befallen his house." (1 Chronicles 7:20-23)
• The name Beriah, therefore, carries a connotation of adversity or misfortune, which is reflected in the narratives associated with these individuals.
