Description
Who was Benjamin?
This Benjamin was an Israelite who lived in Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah. He participated in the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, working on the section near his house (Neh. 3:23). The rebuilding of the wall was a significant project undertaken by Nehemiah to restore the security and integrity of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. Benjamin's involvement in this task demonstrates his commitment to the well-being of his community and his willingness to contribute to the restoration of the city and the strengthening of its defenses.
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.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
