    Description

    Who was Joiada?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Joiada, the son of Paseah, is mentioned in Neh.3.6 as one of the individuals who participated in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls during the time of Nehemiah. He is specifically noted for repairing the Old Gate, which was one of the gates in the city wall. The rebuilding of the walls was a significant project undertaken by the Jewish community after their return from Babylonian exile. It was essential for the security and restoration of Jerusalem as the center of Jewish religious and cultural life. Joiada's contribution to this effort demonstrates his commitment to the well-being of his community and his willingness to work alongside others to achieve a common goal.

    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 Joiada 10 of 13 entities the graph connects to Joiada, in one group: events 10. 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.Rebuilding1 event · 37 versesMeremoth1 event · 6 versesFish Gate1 event · 4 versesSheep Gate1 event · 4 versesTower of Hananel1 event · 4 versesEliashib2 events · 3 versesMeshullam1 event · 3 versesSons Of Hassenaah2 events · 2 versesTower of the Hundred1 event · 2 versesYeshanah Gate1 event · 2 versesJoiada

    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.

Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Joiada there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Fish_GateSheep_Gate

    The pattern

    Where Joiada 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. 1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere.

    Joiada is named in 1 verse — 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.
