    Description

    Succoth in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Succoth was the first place the Israelites camped after setting out from Rameses during the Exodus from Egypt (Exod. 12:37; Num. 33:5). The name "Succoth" means "booths" or "shelters," possibly referring to temporary structures used by shepherds or farmers. The location of Succoth is not certain, but it was likely situated in the eastern Nile Delta region, possibly near the ancient city of Pithom (Tell el-Maskhuta). After leaving Succoth, the Israelites continued their journey and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness (Exod. 13:20; Num. 33:6).

    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.
