Description
Lucifer in the text
In Isaiah 14:12, the Hebrew phrase "Helel ben Shahar" is used, which translates to "Day Star, son of Dawn" or "Shining One, son of the Morning." This is the only occurrence of this name in the Bible. This is poetically describing the fall of the arrogant king of Babylon. Isaiah depicts the king as having an inflated ego, thinking himself to be above the stars of God, but he will be brought low and cast down to the realm of the dead (Isaiah 14:13-15). The Latin Vulgate later translated "Helel" as "Lucifer" which was then carried over into the King James Version, as an illustration of Satan's fall, using poetic language to portray the coming judgment.
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.
The pattern
Where Lucifer 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 Isaiah (1).
