    Description

    Dizahab in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Dizahab is mentioned in Deu.1.1 as one of the places near where Moses delivered his final speeches to the Israelites before their entry into the Promised Land. It is listed along with other locations, such as Suph, Paran, Tophel, and Laban, to provide a geographical context for Moses' discourses. The exact location of Dizahab is unknown, but it was likely situated in the wilderness region east of the Jordan River, where the Israelites had been wandering for forty years. The name "Dizahab" means "enough gold" or "abundance of gold" in Hebrew, possibly indicating the presence of gold in the area.

    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.
