    Description

    Karka in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Karka is mentioned in Joshua 15:3 as one of the places along the southern border of the territory allocated to the tribe of Judah. It is listed between Kadesh-barnea and Hezron, suggesting that it was located in the Negev region, south of Canaan. Its location remains unknown.

    Relations

    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.
