    Description

    Shamir in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Shamir is mentioned in the list of towns allotted to the tribe of Judah in the hill country (Josh. 15:48). The town is listed along with other settlements in the region, such as Jattir, Socoh, and Debir. The exact location of Shamir is unknown, but it was situated in the central hill country of Judah, south of Jerusalem. The name "Shamir" is derived from the Hebrew word meaning "thorn" or "flint," possibly indicating the presence of thorny vegetation or rocky terrain in the area. No other information about the town is provided in the biblical text, and its history and significance remain obscure. The mention of Shamir in the territorial allotment of Judah demonstrates the extent of the tribe's inheritance and provides insight into the geographical distribution of settlements in the hill country during the period of the conquest and settlement of Canaan.

    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.
