    Description

    Who was Og?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Og was the Amorite king of Bashan during the time of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land (Num.21.33; Deu.3.1). He ruled over the region of Bashan, which was known for its fertile land and fortified cities (Deu.3.4-5). Og and his army confronted the Israelites, but God delivered him into the hands of Moses and the Israelites (Num.21.34; Deu.3.3). The Israelites defeated Og, conquered his territory, and allocated it to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh (Num.32.33; Deu.3.12-13; Jos.13.30-31). Og was renowned for his great size, and his iron bedstead was mentioned as a symbol of his stature (Deu.3.11). The defeat of Og was remembered as a significant victory for the Israelites and a testament to God's power and faithfulness (Deu.31.4; Jos.2.10; 9.10; Psalm Jos.135.11; 136.20).

    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.

    How the graph connects Og10 of 14 entities the graph connects to Og, in one group: events 10. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour.
