    Description

    Hara in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hara is a place mentioned in the Bible where some of the Israelite tribes were exiled by the Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser. In 1Ch.5.26, it is recorded that Tiglath-pileser carried away the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan. The exact location of Hara is uncertain, but it is believed to be in the region of Media, as suggested by the Septuagint's rendering of "ore Medon" (mountains of the Medes) and the additional phrase "and in the cities of the Medes" found in 2Ki.17.6 and 18:11, where Hara is omitted from the list of places. The deportation of these Israelite tribes to Hara and other locations was part of the Assyrian policy of resettling conquered populations to prevent rebellions and to integrate them into the empire.

    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.
