Description
Nehelamites in the text
Nehelam is mentioned in the book of Jeremiah as the hometown of Shemaiah, a false prophet living among the exiles in Babylon (Jer.29.24,31-32). Shemaiah sent letters to the people and priests in Jerusalem, urging them to oppose the prophet Jeremiah. He falsely prophesied of a quick return from exile. Jeremiah pronounced judgment on Shemaiah, declaring that he would have no descendants and would not see the good that God would do for His people. The exact location of Nehelam is unknown, but it was likely a village in Babylonia where some of the Jewish exiles settled.
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.
