    Description

    Who was Sidon?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Sidon is mentioned in Gen.10.15 and 1Ch.1.13 as the firstborn son of Canaan, who was the son of Ham and the grandson of Noah. Sidon is listed among the descendants of Canaan, along with his brothers Heth, the Jebusite, the Amorite, and others. The descendants of Canaan inhabited the region that later became known as Canaan, which included the cities of Sidon and Tyre. The Sidonians, who were descended from Sidon, became known for their maritime trade and their skilled craftsmanship, particularly in the production of purple dye and glass. The city of Sidon, named after its ancestor, became one of the most important Phoenician cities and is frequently mentioned in the Bible as a center of commerce and culture.

    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 Sidon10 of 11 entities the graph connects to Sidon, in one group: kinship 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.

    Where this happens

    A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.

    No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
