    Description

    Who was Heman?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Heman was a prominent Levite and musician during the reign of King David. He was a descendant of Kohath, one of the sons of Levi (1Ch.6.33). Heman, along with Asaph and Ethan, was appointed by David to lead the music and worship in the tabernacle (1Ch.15.17,19; 16.41,42). He was known for his skill in playing the cymbal (1Ch.16.42). Heman had fourteen sons and three daughters, all of whom were under his direction in providing music for the house of the Lord (1Ch.25.1,4-6). During the reign of Solomon, Heman and his fellow musicians participated in the dedication of the temple (2Ch.5.12). Later, during the reigns of Hezekiah and Josiah, Heman's descendants continued to serve as musicians in the temple (2Ch.29.14; 35.15). Heman's significant role in the tabernacle and temple worship highlights the importance of music in Israelite worship. (1Ch.6.33; 15.17,19; 16.41,42; 25.1,4-6; 2Ch.5.12; 29.14; 35.15).

    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.

    How the graph connects Heman10 of 31 entities the graph connects to Heman, in one group: events 10. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour.

    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.
