Biblical names

2,474 names in all — 1,581 people, 779 places, 23 peoples, and the rest the months, the constellations, the idols the Prophets name in order to condemn them, and the words that only ever stand inside a compound. They are derived from the proper-noun tagging of our own corpus, not from a list somebody typed. The 140 main figures are all in here too, carrying the same descriptions they carry on their own list.

A name is not a person: Azaryah is one name that nineteen different men bear, and Shaul is one name shared by an Edomite king and by the king of Israel — which is why the first appearance of a name is sometimes not the first appearance of the figure you had in mind.

Where these come from. Every name in the full list is a word our corpus tags as a proper noun in the Westminster Leningrad Codex morphology, grouped so that בית לחם counts as one name and not two. What each one is — a person, a place, a people — is read from the lexicon's own definition, and where that definition names two senses the row says so. The gematria is computed by the same engine that runs every search, and the count on each row is the number of verses that door opens — the same walk, counted once.
