    Description

    Who was Eliashib?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Eliashib, the high priest, is mentioned in Neh.3.1, 20, 21 as one of the prominent figures involved in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. He, along with his fellow priests, rebuilt the Sheep Gate and consecrated it (Neh.3.1). Eliashib's involvement in the rebuilding project highlights the importance of religious leadership in the restoration of Jerusalem. The text also mentions that Eliashib's grandson, Meremoth, was responsible for repairing two sections of the wall (Neh.3.20, 21). Eliashib's participation in the rebuilding effort demonstrates his commitment to the physical and spiritual restoration of the city and the temple.

    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 Eliashib 10 of 12 entities the graph connects to Eliashib, in one group: events 10. 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.Rebuilding1 event · 37 versesMeremoth1 event · 6 versesFish Gate1 event · 4 versesSheep Gate2 events · 4 versesTower of Hananel1 event · 4 versesMeshullam1 event · 3 versesSons Of Hassenaah2 events · 2 versesTower of the Hundred1 event · 2 versesYeshanah Gate1 event · 2 versesJoiada2 events · 1 verseEliashib

Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Eliashib 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.Fish_GateSheep_Gate

    The pattern

    Where Eliashib 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.

    Where the name is written across the corpus. 3 verses across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere.

    Eliashib is named in 3 verses, and the name is written 4 times in them — 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.
