bā´a-lath-bē´ẽr בּעלת בּאר, ba‛alath be'ēr “lady (mistress) of the well”; (in , Baal)): In Josh this place is designated “Ramah of the South,” i.e. of the Negeb, while in it is described as Ramoth of the Negeb. It must have been a prominent hill (rāmāh = “height”) in the far south of the Negeb and near a well (be'ēr). The site is unknown though Conder suggests that the shrine Kubbet el Baul may retain the old name.
