Do you know if the author of Genesis includes the desert of Arabia as part of the wilderness of Beersheba?
Don bluff!
No, the author of Genesis does not include the Desert of Arabia as part of the Wilderness of Beersheba. While the Wilderness of Beersheba is mentioned in Genesis 21:14, referring to the area where Hagar and Ishmael were sent into exile, the Desert of Paran, which is identified with the Desert of Arabia, is where they subsequently settled.
