Description
Who was Gazez?
Gazez, mentioned in 1Ch.2.46, was a son of Caleb and his concubine Ephah. This Gazez is distinguished from the Gazez who was the son of Haran, Caleb's grandson. The passage states that Ephah, Caleb's concubine, bore him three sons: Haran, Moza, and Gazez. It then clarifies that Haran was the father of the previously mentioned Gazez. This suggests that Caleb named one of his own sons after his grandson. The practice of concubinage, as seen in this passage, was common in ancient Israelite society, particularly among wealthy and influential men like Caleb. The sons born to concubines were considered legitimate heirs, although they may have had a lower status compared to the sons of the primary wife. The mention of Gazez and his brothers in the genealogical record of Judah emphasizes the importance of family lineage and the complex family structures that existed in ancient Israel.
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.
