Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Bered, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament writings.

Usage: The name Bered appears in the context of genealogies and geographical locations within the biblical narrative.

Context: Bered is mentioned in the genealogical records of the descendants of Ishmael. In Genesis 16:14, the name is associated with a well, "Beer-lahai-roi," which is located between Kadesh and Bered. This geographical reference situates Bered in the southern region of Canaan, near the Negev desert. The well is significant in the narrative of Hagar, the Egyptian maidservant of Sarah, who encounters the Angel of the LORD there. The name Bered itself, meaning "hail," may reflect a characteristic of the region or a symbolic aspect of the narrative. The mention of Bered in the genealogical context underscores the interconnectedness of the various tribes and families in the biblical narrative.
