Description
Who was Haran?
Haran is mentioned in 1Ch.2.46 as one of the descendants of Caleb, the son of Hezron, from the tribe of Judah. He was born to Caleb's concubine, Ephah, along with his brothers Moza and Gazez. Caleb is known for his faithfulness to God during the Israelites' journey in the wilderness and for receiving a special inheritance in the Promised Land (Num.14.24, Jos.14.6-15). The mention of Haran in Caleb's genealogy showcases the importance of family lineage and the recording of descendants in the Old Testament. It also highlights the practice of concubinage, which was common in ancient times, although not endorsed by God's original design for marriage.
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.
