    Description

    Jazer in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jazer was a town located in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. It was conquered by the Israelites during their journey to the Promised Land (Numbers 21:32) and later allotted to the tribe of Gad (Numbers 32:1,3,35; Joshua 13:25). The town and its surrounding villages were known for their fertile land, particularly suitable for livestock (Numbers 32:1). Jazer was also designated as a Levitical city (Joshua 21:39; 1Ch.6.81) and served as a location for the Hebronites, a Levite family, to pasture their flocks (1Ch.26.31). The city was famous for its vineyards, which are mentioned in the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah (Isaiah 16:8,9; Jeremiah 48:32). During the reign of David, Jazer marked the starting point for the census of Israel (2Sa.24.5). The exact location of Jazer is uncertain, but it was likely situated near the border between Gilead and Ammon.

    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.
