Birsha, king of Gomorrah in Genesis 14, a name of unknown etymology
This royal name appears in Genesis 14:2, identifying 'Birsha king of Gomorrah' among the five kings who rebelled against Mesopotamian overlords. Like his ally Bera of Sodom, Birsha's name has unknown etymology and uncertain root. The name may be non-Semitic, fitting the enigmatic character of the Genesis 14 narrative with its unique names and places. Birsha joined the coalition defeated in the Valley of Siddim, leading to Lot's capture and Abraham's subsequent rescue mission and meeting with Melchizedek.

1. sense 1 — A personal royal name for the king of Gomorrah in Genesis 14:2, whose root and meaning remain unknown. Birsha allied with Bera of Sodom and three other Canaanite kings in rebelling against Mesopotamian domination, resulting in military defeat and Lot's capture. The uncertain etymology and sparse attestation suggest possible non-Semitic origin. Multilingual translations (Birsa, Birsha, Birscha) uniformly transliterate, preserving the proper noun for this obscure ancient monarch whose story intersects with Abraham's early career and the Cities of the Plain. 1×
