# Beriah: A Proper Name in Hebrew Scripture Based on the lexical data provided, Beriah (בְּרִיעָה) is a proper noun appearing twice in the Hebrew Bible. As a name rather than a common word with semantic range, it functions as a personal identifier within biblical genealogies and narratives rather than conveying a specific meaning or concept that varies across contexts. The minimal frequency of occurrence—only two instances—suggests that Beriah was either a relatively minor figure in biblical history or that references to this person were concentrated in specific genealogical passages. Without additional contextual information about which biblical figures bore this name or what roles they played, the limited data prevents definitive statements about the name's historical or theological significance. What can be said with certainty is that it represents an individual or individuals named in the biblical text whose identity was important enough to be recorded in the scriptural record.
