Description
Sansannah in the text
Sansannah is mentioned only once in the Bible, in the list of towns allotted to the tribe of Judah in the Negev region (Josh. 15:31). The Negev was the southern part of the Promised Land, known for its arid climate and sparse vegetation. The exact location of Sansannah is unknown, but it was likely situated in the southern portion of Judah's territory.
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.
