The Nahal Be'er Sheva (נַחַל בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע; Beersheba Stream)[a], is a stream in southern Israel which originates south of the Yatir Forest and is a tributary of the Besor Stream. Its tributaries are the Nahal Yatir, the Nahal Hevron and the Nahal Sakher.[1] It is named for the city of Beersheba, the largest city on its banks.
A major archeological site on its banks is Tel Be'er Sheva.[2] It contains many archeological finds, including a Bedouin livestock market at the Well of Abraham, which the Bedouin called the Suq al-Waqef,[3] a winepress and Byzantine-era tombs.[4] It converges with the Besor Stream at a location known as hamifgash (המפגש; the meeting place).[5]
