Proper Nouns in the Bible and their Duplicates

by Frederick Hoehn, copyright 2013, all rights reserved.

The proper nouns in the Bible are capitalized nouns.  They are of two kinds:  names of people, and names of places.  But some of these names have duplicates, that is, a person or a place can be called by another name.

These lists have been computer generated, that is, a computer program went through the Bible, and made a list of the Proper Nouns, the capitalized nouns.  Then manually, the names were separated into people and places.  

In a few cases, it wasn’t so obvious from looking at the proper noun, whether it was a person or a place.  But then one uses a concordance, such as one of the Hoehn’s Concordances to find the proper noun in the Bible, and the text of the Bible reveals whether it’s a person or a place.
