    Description

    Lod in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Lod, also known as Lydda, was a city located in the territory of Benjamin (1Ch.8.12; Ezra 2:33; Nehemiah 7:37). It was one of the cities resettled by the Israelites after the Babylonian exile (Ezra 2:33; Nehemiah 7:37; 11:35). In the New Testament, Lydda is mentioned as the place where the apostle Peter healed a paralyzed man named Aeneas (Act.9.32-35). The healing of Aeneas led to many people in Lydda and the nearby plain of Sharon turning to the Lord (Act.9.35). Lydda was also the location from which Peter was summoned to Joppa when Tabitha (Dorcas) died (Act.9.38).

    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.
