Description
Who was Kadmiel?
Kadmiel is mentioned several times in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah as a Levite who returned from the Babylonian exile. He is first listed among the Levites who returned with Zerubbabel (Ezr.2.40; Neh.7.43).
During the rebuilding of the temple, Kadmiel, along with Jeshua and his sons and brothers, led the Levites in supervising the workmen (Ezr.3.9). This highlights Kadmiel's leadership role and his involvement in the restoration of the temple.
Later, Kadmiel is mentioned among the Levites who participated in the public reading of the Law and the confession of sins during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (Neh.9.4-5). He also signed the covenant to follow the Law of God (Neh.10.9).
In the lists of Levites who served in the temple after its completion, Kadmiel is mentioned as one of the leaders of thanksgiving and praise (Neh.12.8, 24).
Throughout these passages, Kadmiel emerges as a prominent Levite who played a significant role in the rebuilding of the temple, the spiritual renewal of the people, and the restoration of worship in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. His consistent presence and leadership demonstrate his dedication to serving God and his people.
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.
