    Description

    Sinites in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Sinites are mentioned in Gen.10.17 and 1Ch.1.15 as one of the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham and grandson of Noah. They are listed among the Canaanite tribes, which also included the Sidonians, Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, and others. The Sinites were part of the people groups that inhabited the land of Canaan before the Israelites' arrival. The exact location of their territory is not specified in the Bible, and little is known about their culture or history. As Canaanites, they were among the people groups that God promised to drive out of the land to give to the Israelites (Exo.23.23; Deu.7.1). The mention of the Sinites in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) and the genealogy of Chronicles serves to highlight the diverse people groups that descended from Noah's sons and populated the ancient Near East.

    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.
