    Description

    Achzib in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Achzib was a coastal town allotted to the tribe of Asher (Joshua 19:29). However, Asher failed to drive out the Canaanite inhabitants of Achzib, so they continued to live among the Israelites (Judges 1:31). This Achzib is distinct from the town of the same name in Judah. Its location is generally identified with the modern city of Ez-Zib, about 10 miles (16 km) north of Acco (Ptolemais) on the Mediterranean coast of northern Israel. As a coastal settlement, Achzib was likely involved in maritime trade and commerce. The Canaanites' continued presence in Achzib reflects the challenges Israel faced in completely possessing the Promised 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.

    The pattern

    Where Achzib is named

    Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.

    Achzib is named in 2 verses — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 64 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
