Description
Who was Hezron?
Hezron was a son of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel (or 'Jacob'), as recorded in Gen.46.9, Exo.6.14, Num.26.6, and 1Ch.5.3. He was born in Canaan before Jacob and his family moved to Egypt during the time of Joseph. Hezron went to Egypt with his father, grandfather, and the rest of the family, where they settled in the land of Goshen. He was one of the 70 members of Jacob's household who migrated to Egypt.
Hezron's descendants formed a clan within the tribe of Reuben, known as the Hezronites, as mentioned in Num.26.6. The Hezronites were one of the four clans of Reuben, along with the Hanochites, the Palluites, and the Carmites. These clans were counted in the census taken in the wilderness of Sinai, as recorded in the book of Numbers.
As a grandson of Jacob and a member of one of the twelve tribes of Israel, Hezron's lineage played a role in the formation and growth of the Israelite nation. His descendants were among the Israelites who eventually left Egypt during the Exodus and settled in the Promised Land.
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.
