    Description

    Kanah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Kanah and Cana are two distinct places mentioned in the Bible. Kanah was a town that formed part of the boundary of the tribe of Asher, located near Sidon (Joshua 19:28). It is associated with the modern Wadi Qana, a stream that flows westward into the Mediterranean Sea, just north of Joppa.

    Cana, on the other hand, was a village in Galilee where Jesus performed his first miracle, turning water into wine at a wedding feast (Jhn.2.1, 11). Jesus later healed a royal official's son from Capernaum while in Cana (Jhn.4.46). Nathanael, one of Jesus' disciples, was also from Cana (Jhn.21.2). The exact location of Cana is uncertain, but it is generally identified with either Kafr Kanna or Khirbet Qana, both located in the hills of Galilee, not far from Nazareth.

    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.
