Description
Who was Hur?
Hur is mentioned in Neh.3.9 as one of the individuals who participated in repairing the wall of Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah. He is described as the ruler of half the district of Jerusalem, indicating that he held a position of authority and responsibility within the city.
In the context of Nehemiah 3, various individuals and groups are listed along with the specific section of the wall they were responsible for repairing. Hur's section is not precisely described, but his involvement in the rebuilding project is noteworthy.
The rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall was a significant event in the history of Israel, as it marked the restoration of the city and the reestablishment of its defenses after the Babylonian exile. Nehemiah, who was the governor of Judah at the time, led this effort with the support of the people and leaders like Hur.
Hur's participation in the rebuilding project demonstrates his commitment to the well-being of Jerusalem and his willingness to contribute to the restoration of the city. It also highlights the importance of community involvement and leadership in accomplishing significant tasks for the benefit of God's people.
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 Hur 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).
