Description
Telem in the text
Telem is mentioned in Joshua 15:24 as one of the towns in the Negev region of Judah, allotted to the tribe of Judah during the division of the Promised Land. It is listed among other towns such as Ziph, Bealoth, and Hazor-hadattah. The Negev was the southern desert region of Judah, known for its arid climate and sparse vegetation. The exact location of Telem is unknown, and no further information about this town is provided in the Bible. Its mention in the list of Judah's towns suggests that it was a small settlement in the southern part of the tribe's territory.
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.
