    Description

    Misrephoth-maim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Misrephoth-maim is mentioned in Joshua 11:8 as a place near the city of Sidon where the Canaanite forces fled after being defeated by Joshua and the Israelites. In the context of the conquest of Canaan, Joshua pursued the Canaanite kings and their armies as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, striking them down until no survivors were left. The exact location of Misrephoth-maim is uncertain, but its proximity to Sidon suggests that it was situated along the Mediterranean coast in the region of modern-day Lebanon.

    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.
