Description
Who was Janai?
Janai is mentioned in 1Ch.5.12 as one of the leaders from the tribe of Gad who settled in the region of Bashan, along with his fellow leaders Joel, Shapham, and Shaphat. The Gadites are described as mighty warriors, famous men, and heads of their families. They settled in the land of Gilead in Bashan, extending as far as Salecah, due to the abundance of pasture for their livestock. This settlement likely took place during the early period of Israel's history, after the conquest of Canaan and the allocation of tribal territories.
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
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
The pattern
Where Janai 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.
