    Description

    Nibshan in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Nibshan was a town located in the wilderness region of Judah (Josh. 15:62). It is mentioned only once in the Bible, in the list of towns and villages allotted to the tribe of Judah during the division of the Promised Land under Joshua. The exact location of Nibshan is unknown, but it was likely situated in the barren, sparsely populated area east of Jerusalem, near 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.
