Description
Who was Joiarib?
Joiarib (also known as Jehoiarib) was the name of a priestly family that returned from the Babylonian exile. In Neh.11.10 and 1Ch.9.10, Jedaiah, a descendant of Joiarib, is mentioned among the priests who settled in Jerusalem after the exile. This suggests that the family of Joiarib was among those who returned to Judah and took up residence in the holy city.
Joiarib is also listed in Neh.12.6 as one of the priestly families that returned with Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and Jeshua, the high priest. This return marked the beginning of the restoration of Jewish worship and religious life in Jerusalem after the exile.
In Neh.12.19, Joiarib is mentioned again in the context of the organization of the priestly divisions during the time of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua. This indicates that the family of Joiarib continued to serve as priests in the restored temple and played a role in the religious leadership of the post-exilic Jewish community.
The repeated mentions of Joiarib in these genealogical and historical records emphasize the significance of this priestly family in the religious life of the Jews after the Babylonian exile. They were among those who helped to restore and maintain the temple worship and preserve the religious traditions of Israel.
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.
