Description
Who was Hanoch?
Hanoch is mentioned in Gen.25.4 and 1Ch.1.33 as one of the sons of Midian, who was a son of Abraham through his concubine Keturah. After Sarah's death, Abraham took Keturah as his concubine, and she bore him several children, including Midian (Gen.25.1-2). Hanoch is listed among the five sons of Midian, along with Ephah, Epher, Abida, and Eldaah. These sons and their descendants became the tribes of the Midianites, who are mentioned throughout the Old Testament. The Midianites lived in the region east of the Jordan River and were known for their trading and nomadic lifestyle. The mention of Hanoch in the genealogy of Abraham's descendants through Keturah highlights the diverse nations that emerged from Abraham's lineage, fulfilling God's promise to make him a father of many nations (Gen.17.4-6).
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.
