Description

Who was Iri?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Iri is mentioned in 1Ch.7.7 as one of the five sons of Bela, who was a son of Benjamin. He is listed along with his brothers Ezbon, Uzzi, Uzziel, and Jerimoth. The passage is part of a genealogy tracing the descendants of Benjamin. No other details are recorded in the Bible about Iri's life or family. As a grandson of Benjamin, he was a member of the Israelite tribe of Benjamin.

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 Iri10 of 12 entities the graph connects to Iri, in one group: kinship 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. Distance from the centre carries nothing.BelaChild of · 7 versesAhoahSibling of · 6 versesNaamanSibling of · 2 versesAbihudSibling of · 1 verseAbishuaSibling of · 1 verseAddarSibling of · 1 verseArdSibling of · 1 verseEzbonSibling of · 1 verseGeraSibling of · 1 verseJerimothSibling of · 1 verseIri

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.

No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
