Description

Who was Birzaith?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Birzaith is mentioned in the genealogy of the tribe of Asher as a town or son of Birzaith, a descendant of Beriah, one of Asher's sons (1Ch. 7:31). Asher was one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob') and the founder of the tribe that bore his name. No further details about Birzaith's life or role are provided in the biblical text. The inclusion of Birzaith in the genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage and the preservation of ancestral records among the Israelites, particularly within the tribe of Asher.

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.
