    Description

    Gilead in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Gilead is a mountainous region east of the Jordan River, extending from the Sea of Galilee in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. It is characterized by rugged terrain, forests, and fertile valleys.

    In the Old Testament, Gilead is often used to refer to the entire region east of the Jordan, which was allotted to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh (Numbers 32:1-42; Joshua 13:24-31). The region was known for its balm, a medicinal resin (Jeremiah 8:22, 46:11).

    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 Gilead 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.

    Gilead is named in 90 verses, and the name is written 99 times in them — 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. 45 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
