    Description

    Sur in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Sur is mentioned in 2Ki.11.6 as a gate of the temple in Jerusalem. It is listed along with the gates of the guards and the gate behind the guards. The exact location and identity of the Sur Gate are uncertain, but some scholars suggest that it may refer to the Foundation Gate (2Chr. 23:5). The context of the passage describes the measures taken by Jehoiada the priest to protect the young king Joash during his coronation and the overthrow of Athaliah.

    The pattern

    Where Sur 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.

    Sur 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.
