Beriah

Meaning: in fellowship; in envy · Male · 1 cross reference

This Beriah entry refers to Ephraim's son born after deep family loss, not to other men of the same name elsewhere in Scripture. He belongs to a genealogy marked by grief, renewal, and tribal continuity. First appears in 1 Chr 7:23.1

AI summary: This Beriah matters because his single cross reference preserves one of the more emotionally charged naming moments in the genealogies, where sorrow in Ephraim's house gives rise to a remembered son and ongoing line. The entry shows that genealogies can carry memory, pain, and hope together. Taken together, the material presents this Beriah as a descendant whose name embodies both tragedy and continuation.1
