    Description

    Alemeth in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Alemeth, also referred to as Almon, is mentioned in 1Ch.6.60 as one of the cities given to the Levites from the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. It was assigned to the descendants of Aaron, the priestly family within the Levites. The city's exact location is not specified in the Bible, but it was situated within the tribal lands of Benjamin. The allocation of cities to the Levites, including Alemeth, ensured that they had places to live and carry out their religious duties among the other Israelite tribes.

    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.
