    Description

    Akrabbim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Akrabbim, meaning "scorpions," is mentioned in Numbers 34:4 and Joshua 15:3 as a geographic feature that marked the southern border of the Promised Land and the tribe of Judah. It is described as an ascent or pass, likely located in the Negev region. The exact location of Akrabbim is not certain, but it is believed to be in the vicinity of the Dead Sea and the Zin Desert. The pass served as an important boundary marker for the Israelites as they prepared to enter and divide the land of Canaan.

    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.
