    Description

    Chephar-ammoni in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Chephar-ammoni was a town located in the territory assigned to the tribe of Benjamin during the division of the Promised Land under Joshua (Joshua 18:24). It is mentioned only once in the Bible, in the list of cities and towns belonging to Benjamin. No other details are provided about the history, size, or significance of Chephar-ammoni. Its exact location is unknown, but it was likely situated in the central hill country of Israel, near other towns allotted to Benjamin.

    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.
