    Description

    Who was Talmai?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Talmai is mentioned in Num.13.22, Jos.15.14, and Jdg.1.10 as one of the Anakim who were the pre-Israelite inhabitants of Hebron. The Anakim were giants, descendants of Anak, and were feared by the Israelite spies. Talmai, along with Sheshai and Ahiman, was a king of Hebron. After the conquest of Canaan, Caleb drove out these three Anakim kings when the city was allotted to him and the tribe of Judah.

    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 Talmai6 of 6 entities the graph connects to Talmai, in 2 groups: kinship 3, events 3. 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. Distance from the centre carries nothing.AnakChild of · Descendant of · 16 versesAhimanSibling of · 3 events · 3 versesSheshaiSibling of · 3 events · 3 versesKinshipJudah1 event · 1,023 versesHebron2 events · 57 versesCaleb1 event · 29 versesEventsTalmai
