Description
Who was Hanan?
Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, is mentioned in Jer.35.4 in connection with the Rechabites. The Rechabites were a nomadic tribe known for their commitment to abstaining from wine, living in tents, and following the commands of their ancestor, Jonadab son of Rechab. During the reign of King Jehoiakim, Jeremiah was instructed by God to bring the Rechabites to the temple and offer them wine to drink. The Rechabites refused, demonstrating their steadfast obedience to their ancestor's commands. The chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, was used for this encounter. Hanan is described as "the man of God," indicating his prophetic or priestly role. The location of this chamber in the temple suggests that Hanan held a position of importance or respect within the religious community. The association of Hanan with the Rechabites and the use of his chamber for Jeremiah's test highlights the significance of the Rechabites' commitment to their principles and their role as an example of obedience to God.
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.
