Description
Migdal-el in the text
Migdal-el is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Joshua 19:38, as one of the fortified cities in the territory allotted to the tribe of Naphtali. The name Migdal-el means "tower of God" in Hebrew. The verse lists Migdal-el along with other fortified cities, such as Iron, Horem, and Beth-anath. These cities were located in the northern part of Canaan, in the region of Galilee. Its location is 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.
