    Description

    Libya in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Libya, also referred to as Put or Pul in some Bible translations, is a country located in North Africa. It is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, often in the context of prophecies and judgments against various nations. Libya is described as an ally of Egypt (2Ch.12.3; 16:8) and Ethiopia (Ezk.30.5; Nam.3.9) and is included among the nations that will face God's judgment (Jeremiah 46:9; Ezk.30.5; 38:5). Libyans are also mentioned as serving as mercenaries in the armies of Tyre (Ezk.27.10). In the New Testament, Libyans are listed among the people present in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (Act.2.10).

    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 Libya 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.

    Where the name is written across the corpus. 10 verses across 7 of 66 books; 59 write the name nowhere.

    Libya is named in 10 verses, and the name is written 12 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. 59 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
