    Description

    Seir Mount in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Mount Seir, mentioned in Joshua 15:10, is a landmark on the boundary of the tribe of Judah, located near Kiriath-jearim and Chesalon. This Mount Seir is distinct from the more well-known Mount Seir in Edom, which is associated with Esau and his descendants. The name "Seir" means "shaggy" or "wooded," suggesting that this mountain was likely a wooded height. Its exact location is uncertain, but it may be part of the range that runs northeast from Saris by Karyat el-'Anab and Biddu to the plateau of el-Jib. Traces of an ancient forest can still be seen in this area.

    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.
