Description
Who was Hanan?
Hanan, the son of Zaccur, is mentioned in Neh.13.13 as one of the treasurers appointed by Nehemiah to oversee the storehouses. Nehemiah assigned four reliable men, including Hanan, to distribute the portions due to the priests and Levites from the tithes and offerings collected in the storehouses. This appointment was made to ensure the fair distribution of resources and to support the temple service. Nehemiah's choice of Hanan and the other treasurers was based on their trustworthiness and integrity. The appointment of dedicated individuals like Hanan helped maintain the proper functioning of the temple and the support of its personnel in the post-exilic period.
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.
