Description
Who was Epher?
Epher is mentioned as one of the heads of families and a mighty warrior in the half-tribe of Manasseh (1Ch.5.24). The half-tribe of Manasseh settled in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. Epher is listed alongside other notable figures from the tribe, including Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. These men are described as mighty warriors and heads of their fathers' houses, indicating their leadership roles within the tribe. The mention of Epher in this context highlights his importance and military prowess. However, no further details are provided about his specific accomplishments, his family, or his role in the history of the tribe. The inclusion of Epher in the list of Manasseh's leaders serves to demonstrate the strength and organization of the tribe during their settlement in the region and to recognize the significant individuals who contributed to their success.
Relations
Direct connections
The kinship import reads the registry's own columns — parent, child, sibling, spouse — for every entity in it, and records none here. An extracted relation would be listed beside them, and none names this person either.
Not stated
No family is recorded for this person.
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.
