    Description

    Succoth in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Succoth was a city located in the territory allocated to the tribe of Gad in Canaan (Josh. 13:27). It is first mentioned as the place where Israel (or 'Jacob') built a house for himself and booths (Succoth) for his livestock after his meeting with Esau (Gen. 33:17). During the time of the judges, Gideon and his men pursued the Midianite kings to Succoth and requested provisions, but the officials of Succoth refused, leading to their punishment after the victory (Judg. 8:5-16). In the time of Solomon, Succoth was the location where the bronze works were made for the temple in Jerusalem, as it was situated in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan (1Kgs. 7:46; 2Chr. 4:17). The city is also mentioned in Psalms 60:6 and 108:7 as part of a poetic description of God's dominion over the land.

    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.
