    Description

    Neah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Neah, also known as Neiel, was a town located on the border between the tribal territories of Zebulun and Asher (Josh. 19:13, 27). It is mentioned only in the context of defining the boundaries of these tribes during the allotment of the land under Joshua. The exact location of Neah is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the western Galilee region, near the Mediterranean coast.

    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.
