Bered
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
- A son of Ephraim (1 Chronicles 7:20). In the genealogy of Numbers 26:35 his place is taken by Becher. It may be that Bered and Becher are the same. See Becher.
- A place given in the story of Hagar (Genesis 16:14). Beer Laḥai Roi is there located between Kadesh and Bered. Targumim Onkelos and Yerushalmi regard Bered as Shur; Onkelos rendering it "Ḥagra," which is his usual equivalent for "Shur" (Genesis 16:7) while the Jerusalem Targum renders it "Ḥaluẓa," which is also "Shur" (Exodus 15:22). The site has not been identified.
