    Description

    Middin in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Middin is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Joshua 15:61, as one of the six towns in the wilderness of Judah. The verse lists Middin along with Beth-arabah, Secacah, Nibshan, the City of Salt, and En-gedi. The wilderness of Judah refers to the arid region in the eastern part of the territory of Judah, near the Dead Sea. Its location remains unknown.

    The pattern

    Where Middin 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.

    Middin 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.
