    Description

    Moserah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Moserah was a place where the Israelites camped during their wilderness wanderings after leaving Egypt (Deut. 10:6). It was located in the wilderness of Sinai, but its exact location is unknown. According to Deu.10.6, Aaron died and was buried at Moserah, and his son Eleazar succeeded him as high priest. The Israelites journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, and then from Moserah to Gudgodah.

    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.
