    Description

    Humtah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Humtah was a town located in the hill country of Judah, as listed in Joshua 15:54. It was part of the inheritance given to the tribe of Judah during the division of the Promised Land. The town is mentioned only once in the Bible, and no additional details about its history or significance are provided. Its exact location remains unknown.

    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.
