Description
Who was Jehiel?
Jehiel, the son of Shechaniah, is mentioned in Ezr.8.9 as one of the leaders who returned to Jerusalem with Ezra. This chapter lists the heads of families who joined Ezra in his journey from Babylon to Jerusalem, intending to restore worship and obedience to the Law of Moses. Jehiel is listed along with other leaders such as Zechariah, Sherebiah, and Obadiah, each accompanied by a number of men from their respective families. The text does not provide any further details about Jehiel's background or his role in the community. However, his inclusion in this list suggests that he was a prominent figure among the returnees and had a significant number of people under his leadership. Ezra's return to Jerusalem was a crucial event in the history of Israel, as it marked the beginning of a new era of religious and social reform after the Babylonian exile.
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.
The 10 best-attested of 12 are drawn. All 12 are listed below.
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 Jehiel 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 Ezra (1).

Where to read it
