Description
Who was Hezir?
Hezir is mentioned in Neh.10.20 as one of the priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah and the people of Israel to follow the Law of God. This covenant was made after the completion of the wall of Jerusalem and the public reading of the Law. The priests, along with the Levites and leaders of the people, pledged to keep God's commandments, to avoid intermarriage with foreigners, and to support the temple and its services. Hezir's inclusion in this list indicates that he was a prominent priest during the time of Nehemiah and was committed to the spiritual renewal of the nation.
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.

The pattern
Where Hezir 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.
1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in Nehemiah (1).

Where to read it
