Description

Who was Hammolecheth?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Hammolecheth is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.7.18 as the sister of Gilead, who was a descendant of Manasseh, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. She is described as the mother of three individuals: Ishhod, Abiezer, and Mahlah. Abiezer is notable as the clan from which Gideon, one of the judges of Israel, descended (Jdg.6.11, 24). The name Hammolecheth is unusual, as it is a feminine form of the Hebrew word "melech," meaning "king." Some scholars suggest that this name may indicate a position of authority or leadership held by Hammolecheth within her family or clan. However, no further details about her life or role are provided in the Bible.

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.

How the graph connects Hammolecheth10 of 10 entities the graph connects to Hammolecheth, in one group: kinship 10. 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.MachirChild of · 17 versesGileadSibling of · 9 versesMaacahChild of · 2 versesAbiezerMother of · 1 event · 1 versedaughter of MachirSibling of · 1 versehusband of HammolechethSpouse of · 1 verseIshhodMother of · 1 event · 1 verseMahlahMother of · 1 event · 1 versePereshSibling of · 1 verseShereshSibling of · 1 verseHammolecheth

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.
