Description
Who was Shuthelah?
Shuthelah is mentioned in Num.26.35,36 and 1Ch.7.20 as a son of Ephraim, the son of Joseph. He is listed among the descendants of Ephraim who formed the tribe of Ephraim, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. In Num.26.35, the Shuthelahite clan, which descended from Shuthelah, is counted in the census taken in the wilderness. This clan, along with the other Ephraimite clans, formed the tribe of Ephraim, which later received its inheritance in the central region of Canaan after the conquest of the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership. The mention of Shuthelah in the genealogies highlights his role as an ancestor of a significant clan within the tribe 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
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.
