    Description

    Elon in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Elon is mentioned in Joshua 19:43 as one of the cities allotted to the tribe of Dan when the Promised Land was divided among the tribes of Israel. It is listed along with other cities in the western foothills and coastal plain, such as Aijalon, Timnah, and Ekron.

    No further details about Elon are provided in the Bible. Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the Shephelah region, between the coastal plain and the Judean hills. The city's name is derived from the Hebrew word for "oak" or "terebinth," suggesting it may have been known for its large trees.

    The pattern

    Where Elon 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.

    Elon 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.
