    Description

    Zophim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Zophim, meaning "watchmen" or "lookout," was a field on the top of Pisgah in Moab (Num.23.14). It was one of the locations where Balak took Balaam to view the Israelites and curse them. However, instead of cursing Israel, Balaam blessed them according to the word of the Lord. The exact location of Zophim is uncertain, but it was likely a high point or lookout spot on the Pisgah range, east of the Dead Sea, from which one could view the Israelite camp.

    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.

    Zophim 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.
