Description
Moladah in the text
Moladah was a town located in the Negev region of southern Israel. It was initially allotted to the tribe of Judah (Josh 15:26) and later to the tribe of Simeon (Josh 19:2; 1Ch.4.28). After the Babylonian exile, the town was inhabited by the people of Judah (Neh.11.26). Moladah is mentioned in the lists of towns in the Negev, along with other settlements such as Beersheba, Hormah, and Ziklag. Its exact location is uncertain, but it is believed to be in the vicinity of modern-day Khirbet el-Waten, approximately 15 miles southeast of Beersheba. The name "Moladah" may be derived from the Hebrew word meaning "birth" or "kindred."
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.
