A station of the Israelites when they drew near the Land, so called because of a well (which the word signifies) being sunk there, from which God gave them water. They sang—
“Spring up, O well; sing ye to it:
The princes digged the well,
The nobles of the people digged it
By the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves.”
(Num. 21:16-18). Probably the same as BEER-ELIM of Isaiah 15:8.
2.
Place to which Jotham fled for fear of his brother Abimelech (Judg. 9:21). Its position unknown.
