Description
Baalah in the text
Baalah is listed in Joshua 15:29 as one of the towns in the southernmost part of the territory allocated to the tribe of Judah. However, in Joshua 19:3, it is mentioned as one of the towns given to the tribe of Simeon within their inheritance in the midst of Judah's territory. This suggests that Baalah was initially part of Judah's allotment but was later given to Simeon. The exact location of Baalah is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the Negev region, south 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.
