    Description

    Who was Evi?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Evi was one of the five kings of Midian who were defeated and killed by the Israelites during the time of Moses (Num.31.8). These kings were allies of the Moabites and had played a role in leading the Israelites into idolatry and sexual immorality (Num.25.1-9). As a result, God commanded Moses to take vengeance on the Midianites (Num.31.1-2). Evi and the other Midianite kings were slain in battle, along with Balaam the son of Beor (Num.31.8). The Midianite kings, including Evi, are also mentioned as having been defeated by the Israelites in Jos.13.21, where they are described as "princes of Sihon" and "rulers in the land."

    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.

    How the graph connects Evi8 of 8 entities the graph connects to Evi, in 2 groups: company 1, events 7. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.Moses Men’s killing of Male, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and RebaTook part in · 2 versesCompanyMoses1 event · 786 versesSihon1 event · 34 versesMale1 event · 29 versesHur2 events · 2 versesReba2 events · 2 versesRekem2 events · 2 versesZur2 events · 2 versesEventsEvi

    The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.

    Where the story of Evi happensThe one place the claims about Evi reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Midian. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Evi there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Midian
