Description
Who was Atarah?
Atarah is mentioned briefly in the genealogy of Judah in 1Chronicles 2. She was the wife of Jerahmeel, who was a descendant of Judah through his son Hezron. Atarah is specifically noted as the mother of Onam, one of Jerahmeel's sons. This genealogical record provides insight into the family structure and lineage of the tribe of Judah, tracing the descendants of one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob'). As the wife of Jerahmeel and mother of Onam, Atarah played a role in the continuation of this important lineage within the tribe of Judah.
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.
