Description
Iphtahel Valley in the text
The Iphtahel Valley was a valley located on the border between the territories of Zebulun and Asher (Joshua 19:14, 27). It is mentioned in the description of the boundaries of these two tribes during the division of the Promised Land. The valley was situated in the western part of the Galilee region, near the Mediterranean Sea. Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely a significant geographical feature that served as a natural boundary marker.
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.
