<p> (Heb. Beeroth' Beney'-Yaakan', בְּאֵרוֹת בְּנֵיאּיִעֲקָן, '' | <p> (Heb. Beeroth' Beney'-Yaakan', בְּאֵרוֹת בְּנֵיאּיִעֲקָן, ''Wells Of'' the ''Sons Of Jaakan;'' Sept. Βηρώθ υἱῶν Ι᾿ακίμ ), a place through which the [[Israelites]] twice passed in the desert, being their twenty-seventh and thirty-third station on the way from Egypt to [[Canaan]] ( Numbers 33:31-32; Deuteronomy 10:6). (See [[Exode]]). From a comparison of these passages (in the former of which it is called simply. BENE-JAAKAN, and in the latter partly translated "Beeroth of the children of Jaakan"), it appears to have been situated in the valley of the Arabah, not far from Mount [[Hor]] (Mosera or Moseroth), in the direction of Kadesh-Barnea, and may therefore have well represented the tract including the modern fountains in that region, called [[Ain]] el-Ghamr, Ain el-Weibeh, el-Hufeiry, el-Buweirideh, etc., lying within a short distance of each other. Jaakan (or AKAN) was a descendant of [[Seir]] the Horite ( Genesis 36:27; 1 Chronicles 1:42), and the territory designated by the name of his children may therefore naturally be sought in this vicinity (see Browne's [[Ordo]] Saeclorum, p. 270). Dr. Robinson (Researches, 2, 583) inclines to identify this place with Moseroth, on account of the statement of [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] (Onomast. s.v.) that Beeroth Bene Jaakan was extant in their day ten Roman miles from Petra, on the top of the mountain-probably a conjectural tradition. Schwarz's confusion of [[Wady]] and Jebel Araif en-Nakah in the interior of the desert et-Tih with this place, under the name of [[Anaka]] (Palest. p. 213), is unworthy of farther notice. </p> | ||
