    Description

    Who was Meremoth?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Meremoth was a priest who returned from the Babylonian exile. He was among those who received the silver, gold, and vessels brought back to Jerusalem by Ezra (Ezr.8.33). During the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem under Nehemiah, Meremoth, the son of Uriah, repaired two sections of the wall (Neh.3.4,21). He is also listed among the priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah to follow the Law of God (Neh.10.5). In the lists of priests and Levites who returned with Zerubbabel, Meremoth is mentioned as the head of a priestly family (Neh.12.3,15).

    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 Meremoth 10 of 15 entities the graph connects to Meremoth, in 2 groups: kinship 1, events 9. 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.UriahChild of · 3 versesKinshipJerusalem1 event · 888 versesLevi1 event · 329 versesRebuilding1 event · 37 versesFish Gate1 event · 4 versesSheep Gate1 event · 4 versesTower of Hananel1 event · 4 versesEliashib1 event · 3 versesMeshullam1 event · 3 versesSons Of Hassenaah1 event · 2 versesEventsMeremoth

    The pattern

    Where Meremoth 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. 6 verses across 2 of 66 books; 64 write the name nowhere.

    Meremoth is named in 6 verses — 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. 64 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
