    Description

    Lasha in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Lasha, also referred to as Nahaliel, is mentioned in two different contexts in the Bible. In Genesis 10:19, Lasha is described as one of the boundaries of the Canaanite territory, along with Sidon, Gomorrah, and Sodom. In Numbers 21:19, Nahaliel is listed as one of the places the Israelites passed through during their wilderness journey from the Arnon to Bamoth and on to Pisgah. It is unclear whether these two references indicate the same location or different places with similar names.

    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.
