    Description

    Hethlon in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hethlon is mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel as a place situated on the northern border of the restored land of Israel (Ezk.47.15; 48:1). In Ezekiel's vision, the northern border extends from the Mediterranean Sea to Hethlon and then continues eastward toward Hamath and Zedad. The exact location of Hethlon is uncertain, but it was likely a significant landmark or settlement in the region of Lebo-hamath, which is associated with the entrance to Hamath, a city in modern-day Syria. Hethlon's mention in Ezekiel's vision emphasizes the extent and boundaries of the ideal, restored land of Israel.

    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.
