    Description

    Dung Gate in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Dung Gate was one of the gates in the wall of Jerusalem, mentioned in the book of Nehemiah. It was located on the southern side of the city, likely near the Hinnom Valley. The gate's name suggests that it was used for removing waste and refuse from the city, possibly to be burned or disposed of in the nearby valley. During Nehemiah's inspection of the damaged walls of Jerusalem, he passed through the Dung Gate on his way to the Fountain Gate and the King's Pool (Nehemiah 2:13). The Dung Gate was later repaired by Malchijah, the son of Rechab, as part of the rebuilding efforts led by Nehemiah (Nehemiah 3:14). In the dedication ceremony of the rebuilt wall, one of the two choirs processing around the city passed by the Dung Gate on their way to the Temple (Nehemiah 12:31).

    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.
