    Description

    Baalah Mount in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Mount Baalah is mentioned in Joshua 15:11 as a landmark along the northern border of the territory allocated to the tribe of Judah. The verse describes the border as passing north of Mount Baalah before proceeding to Jabneel. The exact location of Mount Baalah is uncertain, but based on the description of the border, it was likely situated in the Shephelah region, west of Jerusalem.

    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.
