A list of places mentioned in the Bible, with KJV and ESV spellings, sorted by number of Bible verses mentioning that place. The initial list and metadata was populated from OpenBible.info. For more information, visit https://viz.bible.
Not a place, denoymn of someone living Jebus
region, closer centered to babylon than greece
matching place Gedros looks too far off but could be right
per M. Wilson: not the joint province at this time period.
not the same as Debir 326, different location than geonames
There are probably two of them as you suggested, one of them is the same as Bethel. This is an example how complicated biblical geography gets :)
may have wrong verse tagging. research shows two places.
modern borders, may not show outlines on final map
Duplicate of Jerusalem and all of its duplicates. Former name for Jerusalem.
Not specifically Jezreel, but representative coordinates in the Jezreel valley.
Check this. Likely Amman, Jordan but may match an Egyptian site.
modern borders. may not show outlines on final map
Differs from Logos and OpenBible location, but alias matches.
Seems to be duplicate of Bethel- it is an epithet of God being the God of Bethel (God of the House of God)
City used as representative location of the mount
Same as Zion; not sure if it is exactly the same as Jerusalem, they are used as synomns in Scripture, but I feel like it could probably be categorized as a seperate place since Jerusalem also extended to Moriah (the temple mount)
Settlement within Judea available, but not the region itself.
Likely "Ethiopia" in KJV, "Cush" in others.
Should be father South. Pleiades lacks precision.
This is the same place at Mount Sinai (the coordinates are also the same her eon the datasheet)
Reresentative point since it was the capital prior to Nineveh. Use as label location only.
OpenBible has this different from 644, Logos makes no distinction.
Not convinced of this location; several Appollonias. This is the smallest.
We don't know where Nod is for sure. It is a general area east of the Garden of Eden where Cain was banished to wander. Needs to be tagged as an Area feature.
Some scholars have suggested there are two Bethel's. I'd say they probably should be merged into one location, my guess would be the dataset has two locations to allow for another possible location. In my experience, figuring biblical geography is very difficult (its not exactly clear when cities change names multiple names and there are multiple with the same name).
Needs an Ur of the Chaldeans as an alias
Pleaiades says it's "located south of Iudaea and the Dead Sea". Likely lacks precision in additional decimals. Use OpenBible for location but Pleiades for other linkages.
Idumea looks like a match but is pretty far West of openbible location. Needs research.
Likely the same place as Azun Atme, but there doesn't seem to be an exact geographical description in the Bible.
Use this as a label but not the modern borders
Identified as two different places in openbible...why? Is this the right Gilgal?
Entry should be changed Most Holy Place/duplicate with below entry
"This side the river" and "beyond the river" are too ambiguous to identify a specific lat/long on a map. Pertains to a vixinity East of the Jordan.
Sofera similarly aliased but location far off OpenBible source.
Specificcally the Eastern mediterranean, defining Israel's borders in Numbers 34, Joshua, and others.
A little unclear. It should be Labweh but no exact match. Hemath could be it too.
Same as Golgotha, Skull, Place of a Skull
not over land. Point not precise enough, use openbible point instead.
Province later combined; lycia et pamphylia
Also 981544, which has regional boundaries
Zoan is both a city in Egypt and a field. Location in Egypt appears to be educated guesses at best.
Too far off biblical atlas info. Possibly Ma'rib in Yemen.
Joshua 3:16 describes the location of Adam, the automatic entry with an Indian city is incorrect
Some dispute about this one. Go with OpenBible, Pleiades has no matches.
River itself not found in pleiades; a bridge over the river exists in the database.
Most likely in the proximity of Aram and/or Edom
Three aroers. This is of Gad, farther North. Verse refs look off.
Sea is the only available reference. This entyr is for the region near the Sea.
There is some debate as to where Eden was located. Gen 2:10-14 describes four prominent rivers (including Tigris and Euphrates) that flowed from it. Some would say that the river names were used again so it may not have been in that area today, but its more likely it was than not.
I don't think we can identify the location of Eden. It would have been wiped out by the flood.
Per comment on Mount Zion- it does not encompass the entirety of Jerusalem as a whole. Thus, it may not be appropiate to consider it exactly synonmous with Jerusalem (since there's also Mt Moriah). Almost always a reference to Jerusalem itself, however not the actual mountain
