Description

Who was Jehudi?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Jehudi was an official during the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah. He was the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi. When Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, read the prophet's scroll in the temple, the officials sent Jehudi to summon Baruch and have him bring the scroll. Jehudi then read the scroll to the officials, who decided to report its contents to the king. Jehudi was then sent to read the scroll to King Jehoiakim. As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king cut off the portion with a scribe's knife and threw it into the fire until the entire scroll was burned. Despite the warnings in the scroll, neither the king nor his officials showed any fear or repentance.

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.

How the graph connects Jehudi 3 of 3 entities the graph connects to Jehudi, in 2 groups: kinship 1, events 2. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.NethaniahChild of · 1 verseKinshipJehoiakim2 events · 37 versesBaruch1 event · 21 versesEventsJehudi

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 Jehudi 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.

Where the name is written across the corpus. 3 verses across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere.

3 verses across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in Jeremiah (3).

Jehudi is named in 3 verses, and the name is written 4 times in them — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
