Baalath-Beer (place name: 'mistress of a well,' also called Ramath-Negeb, town in Simeon)
This compound geographical name means 'mistress of a well' or 'lady of the well' and designates a town in Simeon's territory, also called Ramath-Negeb (Joshua 19:8). The dual naming reflects either two names for one site or the merger of previously distinct locations. The well reference indicates its significance as a water source in the Negev region.
