    Description

    Lakkum in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Lakkum is mentioned in Joshua 19:33 as one of the border towns of the territory allocated to the tribe of Naphtali. The verse describes the border of Naphtali, stating that it "turned eastward to Aznoth-tabor and went from there to Hukkok, touching Zebulun at the south and Asher on the west and Judah on the east at the Jordan."

    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.
