    Description

    Hazar-shual in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hazar-shual, meaning "village of foxes," was a town located in the Negev, the southern region of the Promised Land. Initially, it was part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah during the division of the land under Joshua (Josh 15:28). Later, Hazar-shual was among the towns given to the tribe of Simeon within Judah's inheritance (Josh 19:3; 1Ch.4.28). After the Babylonian exile, Hazar-shual was one of the towns inhabited by the returning Jews (Neh.11.27). Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the northwestern Negev, south of the Judean hills.

    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.
