    Description

    Taanach in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Taanach, also known as Aner, was a Canaanite city located in the territory allotted to the tribe of Manasseh (Josh. 12:21; 17:11). However, the Manassites did not drive out the Canaanites from Taanach, and instead put them to forced labor (Judg. 1:27). Taanach was later designated as a Levitical city given to the Kohathite clan (Josh. 21:25; 1Chr. 6:70). The city is mentioned in the song of Deborah as the site of a battle against the Canaanite king Jabin and his commander Sisera (Judg. 5:19). It was also included in the administrative district overseen by Baana, one of Solomon's twelve officers (1Kgs. 4:12). The strategic location of Taanach, near the intersection of important trade routes, made it a significant city in the region.

    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.

    The pattern

    Where Taanach 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.

    Taanach is named in 8 verses — 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. 62 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
