Description
Who was Eliab?
Eliab, a member of the tribe of Reuben, is mentioned in Num.16.1,12; 26.8,9; and Deu.11.6 as the father of Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram, along with Korah, led a rebellion against the leadership of Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. They challenged the authority of Moses and Aaron, claiming that all the congregation was holy (Num.16.1-3). Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, but they refused to appear before him (Num.16.12-14). As a result, God caused the earth to open up and swallow the rebels and their households (Num.16.31-33). Eliab's sons, Dathan and Abiram, perished in this divine judgment (Num.26.9; Deu.11.6). The rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram serves as a warning against challenging God's appointed leaders.
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.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
