(Heb. Beyth Biri, בֵּית בִּרְאִי , house of my creation or cistern; Sept. οϊ v κος Βαρούμ v. r. οἴκου Βαρουσεωρίμ [by inclusion of the next name], Vulg. Bethberai), a town in the extreme south of Simeon, inhabited by the descendants of Shimei (1 Chronicles 4:31); by comparison with the parallel list in Joshua 19:6, it appears to have had also the name of BETH-LEBAOTH (See BETH-LEBAOTH) (q.v.), or LEBAOTH simply (Joshua 15:32).
