    Description

    Negeb in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Negeb, meaning "south" in Hebrew, refers to the semi-arid region in the southern part of Israel, extending from the Judean hills to the Arabian Desert. It is characterized by its dry climate and sparse vegetation. In the Bible, the Negeb is often mentioned in relation to the patriarchs, the Exodus, and the conquest of Canaan (Gen. 12:9; 13:1; 20:1; 24:62; Num. 13:17, 22; 21:1; Deut. 1:7; 34:3; Josh. 10:40; 11:16; 12:8).

    The Negeb was allotted to the tribes of Judah and Simeon (Josh. 15:21; 19:8). It served as a refuge for David when he fled from Saul (1Sam. 27:10; 30:1, 14). The region is also mentioned in prophetic texts, often in the context of God's judgment or restoration (Isa. 21:1; 30:6; Jer. 13:19; 17:26; 32:44; 33:13; Obad. 1:19-20; Zech. 7:7).

    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.
