or Bersabe, a place in the southernmost part of Canaan, celebrated for the sojourn of the patriarchs. This name, signifying the well of the oath, was bestowed in allusion to the covenant there made between Abraham and Abimelech. It is mentioned by Eusebius and Jerome, in the fourth century, as a large village. The well of Abraham, or rather two wells, lie 27 miles S.E. from Gaza, and still afford an abundant supply of pure water.
