Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) Because it went evil.--Beriah is derived from a root, bara', and apparently means gift. Heb., because in evil it (i.e., the birth of Beriah) happened in his house. There is an allusive play on the words Beriah ("gift") and bera'ah ("in evil") such as we often meet with in Genesis (see Genesis 5:29; Genesis 11:9). To call such plays on words derivations would be a tasteless anachronism. Their purpose is to point a moral, not to teach etymology.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd again he slept withוַיָּבֹא֙ (way·yā·ḇō)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gohis wife,אִשְׁתּ֔וֹ (’iš·tōw)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 802: Woman, wife, femaleand she conceivedוַתַּ֖הַר (wat·ta·har)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 2029: To conceive, become pregnantand gave birth toוַתֵּ֣לֶד (wat·tê·leḏ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 3205: To bear young, to beget, medically, to act as midwife, to show lineagea son.בֵּ֑ן (bên)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1121: A sonSo he namedוַיִּקְרָ֤א (way·yiq·rā)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7121: To call, proclaim, readhim Beriah,בְּרִיעָ֔ה (bə·rî·‘āh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1283: Beriah -- four Israelitesbecauseכִּ֥י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctiontragedyבְרָעָ֖ה (ḇə·rā·‘āh)Preposition-b | Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 7451: Bad, evilhad comeהָיְתָ֥ה (hā·yə·ṯāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, beupon his house.בְּבֵיתֽוֹ׃ (bə·ḇê·ṯōw)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1004: A houseJump to PreviousBare Befallen Beriah Beri'ah Bore Born Calamity Child Conceived Conceiveth Connection E'phraim Evil House Lay Misfortune Pregnant Trouble Wife
