Be'er Sheva (biblical)
Land of Israel
Be'er Sheva (Beersheba), in the northern Negev (today a major city in southern Israel), is prominent in the Torah's patriarchal narratives. According to the biblical account, Abraham and Isaac dug wells and made covenants there, and the phrase 'from Dan to Beersheba' marked the traditional southern boundary of the Land of Israel.
