AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Chronicles 20:26 Then on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, for it was there that they blessed the LORD. For that reason they named that place "The Valley of Beracah (blessing)" until today. |
Bible Question: Does anyone know if the reference to "Beracah" in this verse is the source of the name Baraca which is used by many men's Sunday school classes? I know that "Beracah" means "blessing" in Hebrew; but I am still unclear if this is the source for the name of the Sunday school class. |
Bible Answer: BARACA - "An international, interdenominational organization of Bible Classes of young men (Organized Oct. 20, 1890)". It is an adaptation of the Hebrew word "Berakah" (Berachah), Blessing in the 2nd Chronicles XX 26 and 1st Chronicles XXI 3. (Philathea is the adaptation for Ladies' Classes.) source: http://www.netpath.net/dsumc/sunday1.htm |
