Beeri

Two men called Beeri appear in Scripture, and each is mainly known through someone else. One is the father of a prophet: “The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri.” The other is a Hittite whose daughter Judith became one of Esau’s wives, when Esau was forty years old. A few verses from Genesis 36, about the sons of Seir, are filed here too, though the name Beeri does not appear in them. For the two Beeris themselves, turn to Hosea 1:1 and Genesis 26:34.
