    Description

    Mizar Mount in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Mount Mizar is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Psalm 42:6, as part of a psalm of lament expressing the writer's longing for God's presence. The psalmist, one of the sons of Korah, remembers God from the land of the Jordan, the peaks of Hermon, and the Mount of Mizar. The exact location of Mount Mizar is unknown, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. Some scholars suggest that it may be a reference to a smaller hill or peak in the vicinity of Mount Hermon, while others propose that it could be a symbolic name representing a place of remembrance or spiritual significance for the psalmist. The name "Mizar" comes from a Hebrew word meaning "littleness" or "insignificance," which may indicate the psalmist's sense of humility or despair in the face of his circumstances.

    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.
