Beriah was a son of Asher, one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob') (Gen. 46:17). He was born to Asher in Canaan before the family migrated to Egypt. Beriah became the head of a clan within the tribe of Asher (Num. 26:44-45). His descendants, known as the Beriites, were among the clans that formed the tribe of Asher during the time of Moses and the conquest of Canaan (1Ch. 7:30-31). The inclusion of Beriah and his clan in the genealogies and census records of Israel demonstrates the importance of family lineage and tribal organization in Israelite society.
