Description
Who was Shedeur?
Shedeur was the father of Elizur, a prominent leader from the tribe of Reuben. Elizur was chosen as the leader of the Reubenites in the census and organization of Israel in the wilderness (Num.1.5). He was in charge of the camp of Reuben, which was located on the south side of the tabernacle (Num.2.10).
Elizur represented Reuben when the leaders brought offerings for the dedication of the altar. He brought his offering on the fourth day (Num.7.30,35). When the Israelites set out from Mount Sinai, Elizur led the tribe of Reuben, along with the Simeonites and the Gadites, as the second group in the order of march (Num.10.18). Shedeur is mentioned only in reference to his son Elizur and is not recorded as having any other role or significance himself.
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
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.
