Beeroth-bene-jaakan (place name, 'wells of the sons of Jaakan')
A compound place name meaning "wells of the sons of Jaakan," marking a wilderness station during Israel's wanderings. The location appears in Deuteronomy's recounting of the journey, probably in Horite territory. Numbers 33 uses the shorter form "Bene-jaakan." The name preserves both the geographical feature (wells, crucial in the desert) and the tribal or clan association (sons of Jaakan), typical of ancient toponymy.
