Description
Who was Immer?
Immer is mentioned in 1Ch.9.12 and Neh.11.13 as the name of a priestly family that lived in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The Immerites were among the priests who returned to Jerusalem and helped to rebuild the city and restore the temple worship.
In 1Chronicles 9, the descendants of Immer are listed among the priests who settled in Jerusalem. The passage mentions Adaiah, son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, from the sons of Immer, who was one of the chief officials in the house of God (1Ch.9.12).
Similarly, in Nehemiah 11, which records the resettlement of Jerusalem after the exile, the descendants of Immer are again mentioned among the priests. The passage lists Amashsai, son of Azarel, son of Ahzai, son of Meshillemoth, son of Immer (Neh.11.13).
The repeated mention of the Immerites in the post-exilic records suggests that they were a significant priestly family who played a role in the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple. As priests, they would have been responsible for conducting the temple services, offering sacrifices, and teaching the people the Law of God.
The fact that the Immerites are mentioned alongside other prominent priestly families, such as the descendants of Jedaiah and Jachin, indicates that they held a respected position within the priestly community.
The name Immer means "he has said" or "he has spoken" in Hebrew, possibly reflecting the family's role in speaking and teaching the word of God to the people.
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.
