Description
Havilah in the text
Havilah was a land mentioned in the biblical description of the Garden of Eden. It was situated near the Pishon, one of the four rivers that flowed from Eden (Gen.2.11). Havilah was noted for its valuable resources, including pure gold, bdellium (an aromatic gum resin), and onyx stone (Gen.2.12). The exact location of Havilah is unknown, as the geographical references in the Eden account are challenging to identify with certainty. Some scholars propose that it may have been located in the Arabian Peninsula or near the Persian Gulf, but this remains speculative.
Relations
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.
