Description
Who was Gamaliel?
Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, was the leader of the tribe of Manasseh during the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. He is mentioned several times in the book of Numbers. In Num.1.10, Gamaliel is listed as the leader of Manasseh in the census taken at the beginning of the second year after the Exodus. The tribe of Manasseh, under Gamaliel's leadership, was counted as part of the larger Israelite community (Num.1.34-35). In the arrangement of the Israelite camp, Gamaliel and the tribe of Manasseh were positioned on the west side of the tabernacle, along with the tribes of Ephraim and Benjamin (Num.2.20). Gamaliel also had a role in the offerings presented at the dedication of the tabernacle. He brought his offering on the eighth day, which included various animals and vessels for the tabernacle service (Num.7.54-59). When the Israelites set out from Mount Sinai, Gamaliel and the tribe of Manasseh marched under their standard, as directed by God (Num.10.23). These references to Gamaliel highlight his leadership role and the importance of the tribe of Manasseh in the organization and journey of the Israelites through the wilderness.
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.
