    Description

    Sahar in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Sahar is mentioned only once in the Bible, in the book of Ezekiel. In a prophecy against Tyre, Ezekiel lists various places that traded with the city, including Damascus, which is said to have traded in the wine of Helbon and white wool from Sahar (Ezk. 27:18). No other information is provided about Sahar in the Bible, and its exact location remains unknown. It is possible that Sahar was a region known for its high-quality wool, but this cannot be confirmed from the biblical text alone.

    The pattern

    Where Sahar 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. 1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere.

    Sahar 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.
