Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בְּאֵר (be'er), meaning "well" or "spring."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Beeri in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a direct Greek counterpart. However, the concept of a "well" or "spring" can be related to Greek words such as πηγή (pēgē), meaning "spring" or "fountain," which is Strong's Greek Number 4077.

Usage: Beeri is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to two distinct individuals.

Context: Beeri, Father of Judith: Beeri is mentioned as the father of Judith, one of the wives of Esau. This reference is found in Genesis 26:34: "When Esau was forty years old, he took as wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite."
Beeri, Father of Hosea: Beeri is also noted as the father of the prophet Hosea. This is recorded in Hosea 1:1: "The word of the LORD that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the reign of Jeroboam son of Jehoash king of Israel."

In both instances, Beeri is identified as a paternal figure, linking him to significant biblical narratives. The name Beeri, meaning "my well," may symbolize a source of life or sustenance, reflecting the cultural and spiritual significance of wells in ancient Near Eastern societies.
