    Description

    Hebrews in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Hebrews were an ethnic group descended from Abraham, also known as Israelites or Jews. The term "Hebrew" first appears in the Bible in reference to Abraham (Gen.14.13) and is later used to refer to his descendants, the Israelites, throughout the Old Testament. The Hebrews were distinct from the Egyptians (Gen.43.32; Exo.1.15,16,19) and other nations, and they were often oppressed or enslaved (Exo.1.11-14; 5.3). God identified Himself as the God of the Hebrews (Exo.3.18; 5.3; 7.16; 9.1,13; 10.3) and gave them laws and commandments to follow (Exo.21.2; Deu.15.12). The Hebrews were also known for their language, Hebrew (Luk.23.38; Act.6.1), and their religious practices. In the New Testament, the term "Hebrew" is used to refer to Jewish Christians who spoke Hebrew or Aramaic (Act.6.1) and to emphasize the Jewish heritage of some early Christians (2Co.11.22; Php.3.5).

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    The places the claims about this group reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.

    Where the story of Hebrews happensThe one place the claims about Hebrews reach, framed to them: Jordan. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Hebrews there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Jordan
