Description

Beer in the text

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Beer, meaning "well" in Hebrew, is mentioned in Numbers 21:16 as a place where God instructed Moses to gather the people, and He would provide water for them. This event occurred during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt.

The Israelites had been complaining about the lack of water, and God responded by directing Moses to assemble the people at Beer. There, God provided water for them, demonstrating His provision and care for His people in the desert.

The exact location of Beer is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely somewhere in the region of Moab, east of the Jordan River, as the Israelites were traveling through that area at the time.

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.

Where Beer 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.

Beer is named in 1 verse — 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. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
