    Description

    Gilead in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Gilead is a mountainous region east of the Jordan River, extending from the Sea of Galilee in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. It is characterized by rugged terrain, forests, and fertile valleys.

    In the Old Testament, Gilead is often used to refer to the entire region east of the Jordan, which was allotted to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh (Numbers 32:1-42; Joshua 13:24-31). The region was known for its balm, a medicinal resin (Jeremiah 8:22, 46:11).

    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.
