    Description

    Hazeroth in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hazeroth was a place where the Israelites camped during their wilderness wanderings after leaving Mount Sinai. It is mentioned several times in the book of Numbers and once in Deuteronomy (Num.11.35; 12:16; 33:17-18; Deut 1:1). The name "Hazeroth" is derived from the Hebrew word "hatser," meaning "enclosure" or "court," suggesting that the site may have had some form of semi-permanent structures. At Hazeroth, Moses faced challenges to his leadership from his siblings, Aaron and Miriam (Num 12). God affirmed Moses' unique role as His chosen leader and judged Miriam with temporary leprosy. The Israelites remained at Hazeroth for an unspecified period before setting out into the wilderness of Paran (Num.12.16). The exact location of Hazeroth is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the Sinai Peninsula, between Mount Sinai and Kadesh-barnea.

    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.
