    Description

    Rimmon-perez in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Rimmon-perez was one of the places where the Israelites camped during their wilderness wanderings after the Exodus from Egypt. It is mentioned in the list of the Israelites' encampments in the book of Numbers, between Rithmah and Libnah (Num. 33:19-20). The name Rimmon-perez means "pomegranate breach" or "pomegranate of the breach." No other details are provided about this location in the Bible, and its exact site remains unknown. It was likely situated somewhere in the Sinai Peninsula or the Negev desert.

    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.
