Description
Who was Eliud?
Eliud is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew (Mat.1.14,15). He was the son of Achim and the father of Eleazar. Eliud is listed as one of the ancestors of Jesus in the lineage traced from Abraham through David to Joseph, the husband of Mary. The genealogy in Matthew spans several generations, covering the period from the Babylonian exile to the birth of Jesus. Apart from being named in this genealogical record, no additional information is provided about Eliud's life or his role in the family line that led to the birth of Jesus Christ.
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.

The pattern
Where Eliud 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.
