    Description

    Zior in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Zior is mentioned in the Bible as one of the towns in the hill country of Judah (Jos.15.54). It is listed alongside other towns such as Humtah, Kirjath-arba (Hebron), and Maon in the description of the territory allotted to Judah. However, no other information is provided about the history or significance of Zior. Its exact location is unknown, but it was situated in the hill country of Judah, which was the central mountainous region of the tribe's territory.

    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.

    Zior 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.
