    Description

    Mareal in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Mareal is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Joshua 19:11, as part of the description of the border of the territory allotted to the tribe of Zebulun. The verse states that the border "went up to Mareal and reached to Dabbesheth, then to the brook that is east of Jokneam." The location is not provided in the Bible.

    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.

    Mareal is named in 1 verse — 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. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
