Beersheba

The southernmost city of Israel — 'from Dan to Beersheba' meant the whole country

Negev

About This Place

A city in the Negev desert that marked the southern boundary of Israel. Abraham and Isaac both dug wells here and made covenants with the Philistines. The phrase 'from Dan to Beersheba' (north to south) described the full extent of the land. Elijah collapsed here in exhaustion after fleeing Jezebel.
