    Description

    Chesulloth in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Chesulloth, also referred to as Chisloth-tabor or Tabor, was a town located on the border between the territories of Issachar and Zebulun (Joshua 19:12, 18). It is mentioned in the description of the boundaries of these two tribes during the division of the Promised Land.

    The town's association with Tabor suggests that it was situated near Mount Tabor, a prominent landmark in the region. Mount Tabor is known for its strategic location and its role in various biblical events, such as Deborah and Barak's victory over Sisera (Judges 4-5).

    In 1Ch.6.77, Tabor is mentioned as one of the cities given to the Levites from the tribe of Zebulun, along with its common-land. This indicates that Chesulloth, or a portion of it, was allocated to the Levites for their use and sustenance.

    The exact location of Chesulloth is uncertain, but its proximity to Mount Tabor and its position on the border between Issachar and Zebulun suggest that it was a significant settlement in the region during the time of Joshua and the early Israelite period.

    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.
