Description
Who was Sheerah?
Sheerah was the granddaughter of Ephraim, the son of Beriah. She is mentioned in 1Ch.7.24 as the builder of the lower and upper Beth-horon and Uzzen-sheerah. Building cities was an unusual achievement for a woman in ancient times, suggesting that Sheerah was a prominent figure. The location of Uzzen-sheerah is unknown, but Beth-horon was a significant town in the territory of Ephraim.
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.
The pattern
Where Sheerah 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.
1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in 1 Chronicles (1).
