Description
Who was Hanun?
Hanun is mentioned in Neh.3.13 as one of the individuals who helped repair the Valley Gate during the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. Under the leadership of Nehemiah, the Israelites who had returned from Babylonian captivity took on the task of restoring the city's fortifications. The repair work was divided among various groups and individuals, each responsible for a specific section of the wall. Hanun, along with the inhabitants of Zanoah, repaired the Valley Gate, which was one of the main entrances to the city. They also repaired a section of the wall measuring a thousand cubits (approximately 450 meters or 1,500 feet) from the Valley Gate to the Refuse Gate. The mention of Hanun in this context highlights the collective effort and participation of the Israelites in the restoration of Jerusalem's defenses. It also demonstrates the importance of unity and cooperation in achieving a common goal.
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.
