Translations: Berea, Beroea
From the root: ΒΕΡΕΑ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: Berea (or Beroea) is a proper noun referring to an ancient city in Macedonia, Greece. It was a significant location in early Christian history, particularly mentioned in the Book of Acts as a place where Paul and Silas preached. The apostrophe at the end, a keraia, indicates that the word is being used as a numeral, specifically 2, but in this context, it is more likely a scribal mark or a misinterpretation of the original text, as 'Berea' is a place name and not typically a numeral.
