Description
Beth-anoth in the text
Beth-anoth is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Joshua 15:59, as part of the list of cities and villages in the hill country of Judah. The name Beth-anoth means "house of answers" or "house of affliction" in Hebrew. The town is listed along with other cities such as Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor. The exact location of Beth-anoth is not specified in the Bible, but it was situated in the hill country of Judah, which is the central mountainous region of 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 Beth-anoth 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.
1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in Joshua (1).
