    Description

    Addar in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Addar is mentioned in Joshua 15:3 as one of the points along the southern boundary of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. It is listed between the ascent of Akrabbim and Karka, indicating its location in the arid region south of the Dead Sea. The name Addar means "mighty" or "noble," but the significance of this name in relation to the place is unknown. Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely a prominent landmark, such as a mountain or a valley, used to delineate the border. No other information about Addar is provided in the Bible. Its mention in Joshua 15 helps to define the extent of Judah's territory in the southernmost part of the Promised Land.

    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.
