    Description

    Who was Elasah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Elasah is mentioned in Jer.29.3 as one of the two messengers (along with Gemariah) who carried a letter from the prophet Jeremiah to the exiles in Babylon. The letter contained Jeremiah's message encouraging the exiles to settle down, build houses, and pray for the peace of the city where they were living. Elasah's role as a messenger indicates he was trusted to deliver this important communication.

    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.

    How the graph connects Elasah 7 of 7 entities the graph connects to Elasah, in 2 groups: kinship 3, events 4. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.ShaphanChild of · 23 versesAhikamSibling of · 20 versesGemariahSibling of · 4 versesKinshipBabylon1 event · 268 versesNebuchadnezzar1 event · 88 versesZedekiah1 event · 53 versesGemariah2 events · 1 verseEventsElasah

    Where this happens

    The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.

    Where the story of Elasah happens The one place the claims about Elasah reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Babylon. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Elasah there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Babylon

    The pattern

    Where Elasah is named

    Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.

    Elasah 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.
