    Description

    Bene-berak in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Bene-berak is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Joshua 19:45, as part of the list of towns allotted to the tribe of Dan in the land of Canaan. The name "Bene-berak" means "sons of lightning" in Hebrew.

    The exact location of Bene-berak is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated in the coastal plain of Canaan, within the territory assigned to the tribe of Dan.
