Description
Amam in the text
Amam is mentioned in Joshua 15:26 as one of the towns allotted to the tribe of Judah in the Negev region, the southern part of the Promised Land. It is listed among other towns such as Shema, Moladah, and Hazar-gaddah, indicating its location in the arid wilderness area south of Hebron. No other information about Amam is provided in the Bible, and its exact location is unknown. As part of Judah's inheritance, Amam would have been settled by members of the tribe following the conquest of Canaan under Joshua's leadership.
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.
