    Description

    Who was Seir?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Seir is mentioned in Gen.36.20-21 and 1Ch.1.38 as a Horite chief and an ancestor of the Horites who inhabited the land of Seir. The Horites were the original inhabitants of the region of Seir before the descendants of Esau settled there. Seir is listed among the sons of Seir the Horite, indicating that he was a prominent figure among the Horite clans. The land of Seir, located in the region of Edom, south of the Dead Sea, was named after Seir the Horite. The descendants of Esau, also known as the Edomites, later inhabited this region and intermarried with the Horites.

    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 Seir 9 of 9 entities the graph connects to Seir, in one group: kinship 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.AnahParent of · 10 versesHoriProgenitor of · 9 versesTimnaFather of · 6 versesDishanFather of · 5 versesDishonFather of · 5 versesEzerFather of · 5 versesLotanFather of · 5 versesShobalFather of · 5 versesZibeonFather of · 2 versesSeir

    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.

    Where Seir 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.

    Seir is named in 3 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.
