    Description

    Zemarites in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Zemarites were a Canaanite people group mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 and 1Chronicles 1. They are listed between the Arvadites and Hamathites, suggesting they lived in the northern region of Phoenicia. The name may be associated with the town of Sumra, located on the coast between Tripolis and Arvad, about 1.5 miles north of the Nahr el-Kebir River. This town is likely the same as Cumur, which is mentioned in the Tell el-Amarna Letters along with Arvad. The exact extent and history of the Zemarites is unknown, as they are only mentioned in these genealogical passages.

    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.
