Description
Who was Rephaiah?
Rephaiah, the son of Hur, is mentioned in Neh.3.9 as one of the people who helped repair the wall of Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah. He was the ruler of half the district of Jerusalem, indicating that he held a position of authority in the city. Nehemiah, who served as the governor of Judah under the Persian Empire, led the effort to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, which had been destroyed during the Babylonian conquest. Various individuals and families were assigned to repair specific sections of the wall. Rephaiah was responsible for repairing a section adjacent to the one repaired by Jedaiah, son of Harumaph. The mention of Rephaiah's involvement in the wall's reconstruction highlights the collective effort of the Jewish community to restore and fortify Jerusalem after their return from exile.
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.
