    Description

    Bamoth-baal in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Bamoth-baal, meaning "high places of Baal," was a Moabite place of worship mentioned in Numbers 22:41. It was one of the locations where Balak, the king of Moab, took the prophet Balaam to curse the Israelites as they were passing through the region. From Bamoth-baal, Balaam could see a portion of the Israelite camp. The place was likely situated on an elevated location, as its name suggests, and was associated with the worship of the Canaanite deity Baal. In Joshua 13:17, Bamoth-baal is listed as one of the towns allotted to the tribe of Reuben in the territory east of the Jordan River. Numbers 21:28 also mentions Bamoth-baal in the context of the Amorite conquest of Moab before the Israelites arrived in the area.

    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.
