    Description

    Arad in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Arad was a Canaanite city located in the Negev desert. During Israel's wilderness journey, the king of Arad attacked the Israelites and took some of them captive (Num. 21:1). Israel vowed to destroy the city if God gave them victory, which they did, renaming the place Hormah (Num. 21:2-3). Later, after the conquest of Canaan, Arad was included in the list of cities defeated by Joshua (Jos. 12:14). In the time of the judges, the Kenites, descendants of Moses' father-in-law, settled in the wilderness of Judah, south of Arad (Jdg. 1:16). The city's mentions in the Bible highlight its strategic location and its interactions with the Israelites during their early history.

    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.
