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 Mesha 10 of 21 entities the graph connects to Mesha, in one group: kinship 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.HurSibling of · 12 versesCalebChild of · 10 versesAchsahSibling of · 1 verseArdonSibling of · 1 verseEphahSibling of · 1 verseGazezSibling of · 1 verseGeshanSibling of · 1 verseHaranSibling of · 1 verseJeriothChild of · 1 verseJesherSibling of · 1 verseMesha

Places

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.

Where the story of Mesha happens The one place the claims about Mesha reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Ziph. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Mesha 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.Ziph

The pattern

Where Mesha 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.

1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in 1 Chronicles (1).

Mesha 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.
