Bered
Bered
(Heb. id. , hail, in pause Ba’red, , Gen 16:14; Sept. always ), the name of a place and of a man.
1. A town in the south of Palestine, between which and Kadesh lay the well Lahai-roi (Gen 16:14; comp. Gen 16:7). The name is variously given in the ancient versions: Syriac, Gadar [? Gerar]; Arab. Iared, probably a mere corruption of the Hebrew name; Onkelos, Chagra, (elsewhere employed in the Targums for Shur); Ps. Jonathan, Chalutsa, i.e. the Elusa, , of Ptolemy and the ecclesiastical writers, now el- Khulasah, on the Hebron road, about 12 miles south of Beersheba (Robinson, 1, 296; Stewart, p. 205; Reland, p. 755). We have the testimony of Jerome (Vita S. Hilarionis) that Elusa was called by its inhabitants Barec, which would be an easy corruption of Bered, being read for . Chaluza is the name elsewhere given in the Arabic version for shur and for Gerar. SEE ELUSA.
2. A son of Shuthelah and grandson of Ephraim (1Ch 7:20); supposed by some to have been identical with Becher in Num 26:35, by a mere change of letters ( for ), but with little probability from the context. B.C. post 1856.

BERED.1. An unknown place, mentioned but once (Gen 16:14) as an indication fixing the site of Beer-lahairoi. The identification with Halasah, which has been suggested, is mere guess-work. 2. See Becher, No. 1.

Bered (2)
bered (, beredh; , Barad): A place in the Negeb mentioned in the story of Hagar (Gen 16:14). The well Beer-lahai-roi was between Kadesh and Bered. The Onkelos Targum renders it Haghra’, which is the usual equivalent of Shur, while the Jerusalem Targum renders it Halucah, which is also Shur (Exo 15:22). Halucah is clearly the city of Elusu mentioned by Ptolemy and from the 4th to the 7th centuries by various ecclesiastical writers. It was an important town on the road from Palestine to Kadesh and Mount Sinai. This is without doubt the very large and important ruin Kh Khalasa, some 70 miles South of Jerusalem on the road from Beersheba and Rehoboth. These ruins cover an area of 15 to 20 acres, throughout which the foundations and enclosures of houses are distinctly to be traced…. We judged that here there must have been a city with room enough for a population of 15,000 to 20,000 souls (Robinson, BR, I, 201).
