    Description

    Hazar-enan in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hazar-enan, meaning "village of springs," was a town situated on the northern border of the Promised Land, as described in Numbers 34:9-10. It served as a boundary marker between the territories of Damascus and Hamath. The prophet Ezekiel, in his vision of the restored land of Israel, mentioned Hazar-enan as part of the northern border of the land allocated to the tribe of Dan (Ezk.48.1). Hazar-enan was also listed as a point on the eastern frontier of the land (Ezk.47.17). Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely in the region of modern-day Lebanon or Syria.

    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.
