    Description

    Hazerim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hazerim, meaning "villages," is a term used in Deu.2.23 to describe the settlements inhabited by the Avvim, a people group who lived in the region of Gaza before the Caphtorim (Philistines) dispossessed them. The Avvim were one of the original inhabitants of the land of Canaan before the Israelite conquest. The use of the term "villages" suggests that the Avvim lived in semi-permanent settlements, possibly consisting of rough stone walls covered with tent cloths, a type of dwelling that was common among nomadic or semi-nomadic people in the ancient Near East.

    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.
