Description
Who was Seraiah?
Seraiah, mentioned in Jer.51.59-61, was the son of Neriah and the brother of Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe. He held the position of quartermaster, which likely involved overseeing supplies and provisions. In the fourth year of King Zedekiah's reign, Seraiah accompanied the king on a journey to Babylon, possibly for diplomatic purposes. Jeremiah entrusted Seraiah with a prophetic message written in a scroll, which he was to read aloud in Babylon and then tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates River. This symbolic act signified the future destruction of Babylon. Seraiah's role in this event demonstrates his trusted position and his willingness to carry out the prophet's instructions, even in a foreign land.
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
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.
