Description
Who was Azriel?
Azriel is mentioned in Jer.36.26 as one of the officials sent by King Jehoiakim to arrest the prophet Jeremiah and his scribe, Baruch. The chapter describes how Jeremiah had dictated a prophecy to Baruch, warning of the impending judgment on Judah, and Baruch had read the scroll in the temple. When King Jehoiakim heard the words of the prophecy, he burned the scroll and ordered the arrest of Jeremiah and Baruch. Azriel, along with two other officials, Jerahmeel and Shelemiah, was tasked with carrying out this order. However, the text notes that the Lord had hidden Jeremiah and Baruch, and they were not found. The incident highlights the opposition and persecution faced by Jeremiah in delivering God's message to a rebellious nation and the protection provided by God for his faithful servants.
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.
