    Description

    Tamar in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Tamar is mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel as a landmark on the southeastern border of the Promised Land. In Ezekiel's vision of the division of the land among the tribes of Israel, Tamar is listed as a point on the eastern border, alongside the Dead Sea and the Jordan River (Ezek. 47:18-19). It is also mentioned as part of the southern border of the portion allotted to the prince (Ezek. 48:28). The exact location of Tamar is uncertain, but it is believed to have been situated in the Judean Desert, south of the Dead Sea. Some scholars suggest that it may be identified with the site of Ein Hatzeva, an oasis in the Arava Valley.

    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.
