Description
Who was Hamul?
Hamul was a son of Perez and a grandson of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob') (Gen.46.12; 1Ch.2.5). He was born to Perez, who was the son of Judah and Tamar (Gen.38.29). Hamul is mentioned in the genealogy of Judah, which is recorded in the book of Genesis when Jacob and his family moved to Egypt during the famine (Gen.46.12). He is also listed in the census of the Israelites taken in the wilderness of Sinai (Num.26.21). The descendants of Hamul, known as the Hamulites, are mentioned as one of the clans of the tribe of Judah (Num.26.21).
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.
