    Description

    Debir in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Debir is mentioned in Joshua 15:7 as a place on the northern border of the tribe of Judah. This Debir is distinct from the more well-known city of Debir, also located in Judah. The exact location of this Debir is uncertain, but it is described as being near the Valley of Achor and the ascent of Adummim. It served as a boundary marker for the territory allotted to Judah during the division of the Promised Land under Joshua.

    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.
