Description
Who was Zerah?
Zerah was a son of Reuel and a grandson of Esau. He is mentioned in the genealogies of Esau in Genesis 36 and 1Chronicles 1. Like his cousin Zepho, Zerah was also a chief of Edom, reflecting his leadership position within the Edomite tribe. The Edomites were the descendants of Esau who settled in the region of Seir.
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.

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.
