    Description

    Dan in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Dan was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's fifth son, Dan (Genesis 30:6). The tribe was allotted territory in the northern part of Canaan (Joshua 19:40-48). The city of Dan, originally known as Laish or Leshem, was conquered by the Danites (Joshua 19:47; Judges 18:29). It became the northernmost city of Israel, often used in the phrase "from Dan to Beersheba" to describe the entire land (Judges 20:1; 1Sa.3.20). Jeroboam set up one of his golden calves in Dan (1Ki.12.29-30), leading to idolatry. The city was also known for its skilled craftsmen (2Ch.2.14). Dan was one of the first places to fall to foreign invaders due to its northern location (Jeremiah 4:15; 8:16).

    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.
