    Description

    Zanoah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Zanoah was a town located in the Judean lowlands (Shephelah) that was allotted to the tribe of Judah during the division of the Promised Land (Josh. 15:34). It is mentioned in the genealogy of Judah, where it is associated with Jekuthiel, the father of Zanoah (1Chr. 4:18). During the time of Nehemiah, the people of Zanoah played a significant role in rebuilding the Valley Gate and a section of the wall of Jerusalem (Neh. 3:13). They are also listed among the towns resettled by the people of Judah after the Babylonian exile (Neh. 11:30). The exact location of Zanoah is not specified in the Bible, but it was situated in the Shephelah region, known for its fertile valleys and strategic importance. The repeated mention of Zanoah in various contexts throughout the Bible highlights its significance as a town within the territory of Judah.

    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.
