Summary

[edit]
Description

This well dates as far back as the 12th-11th centuries BCE and is often called "Abraham's well," connecting it with the biblical account of the oath sworn between Abraham and Abimelech in Genesis 21:27-32 (cf. Gen 26:23, 33). The well is deep enough that to have provided a reliable source of water year-round, a vital resource at this site at the edge of the dry Negev.

The plastered watering trough for animals is a modern reconstruction.
