1. A station of the Israelites when they drew near the Land, so called because of a well (which the word signifies) being sunk there, from which God gave them water. They sang -

The nobles of the people digged it
By the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves."
Num. 21:16-18. Probably the same as BEER-ELIM of Isa. 15: 8.
