Description
Who was Jaazaniah?
Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah (not the prophet), is mentioned in Jer.35.3 as a member of the Rechabite clan during the time of the prophet Jeremiah. The Rechabites were a nomadic tribe known for their strict adherence to the commands of their ancestor, Jonadab son of Rechab (Jer.35.6-7).
In this chapter, God instructs Jeremiah to bring the Rechabites into the temple and offer them wine to drink (Jer.35.2). Jaazaniah is specifically mentioned as one of the Rechabites who were brought in for this test (Jer.35.3).
The Rechabites, including Jaazaniah, refused to drink the wine, citing their ancestor's command to abstain from wine, live in tents, and not plant crops or vineyards (Jer.35.6-10). God then uses the Rechabites' obedience as a contrast to the disobedience of the people of Judah and Jerusalem, who had repeatedly refused to listen to God's commands (Jer.35.12-16).
Jaazaniah's inclusion in this narrative serves to highlight the faithfulness of the Rechabites and their commitment to their ancestor's commands, even in the face of pressure to conform to the surrounding culture. It also demonstrates God's desire for His people to show the same level of obedience and dedication to His commands.
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 Jaazaniah 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.
