Description
Jotbathah in the text
Jotbathah was one of the places where the Israelites camped during their wilderness journey after leaving Egypt (Numbers 33:33-34). It is described as a land with brooks of water (Deu.10.7), suggesting that it was a refreshing and well-watered location. The Israelites arrived at Jotbathah after camping at Hor-haggidgad and before moving on to Abronah. The exact location of Jotbathah is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the Sinai Peninsula or the Arabah region, south of the Dead Sea.
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.
