    Description

    Ephraim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Ephraim is mentioned in Jhn.11.54 as the place where Jesus withdrew with His disciples after the raising of Lazarus. This event had intensified the opposition of the Jewish religious leaders, who were plotting to kill Jesus (Jhn.11.45-53).

    The city of Ephraim was located near the wilderness, likely referring to the Judean wilderness east of Jerusalem. By withdrawing to this area, Jesus sought to avoid confrontation with His enemies until the appointed time for His passion and death.

    The exact location of Ephraim is uncertain, but it may be the same as the city of Ephron mentioned in 2Ch.13.19, which was situated in the hill country of Judah, near Bethel.

    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.
