Description
Who was Jachin?
Jachin, also known as Jarib, is mentioned in several genealogical lists in the Old Testament as a son of Simeon, the second son of Israel (or 'Jacob') and Leah. He is first mentioned in Gen.46.10 and Exo.6.15, where he is listed among the sons of Simeon who went down to Egypt with Jacob.
In Num.26.12, Jachin is identified as the founder of the Jachinites, one of the clans within the tribe of Simeon. This passage records the census taken by Moses and Eleazar in the plains of Moab, which lists the clans of each tribe according to their ancestors.
Jachin is also mentioned in 1Ch.4.24 as part of the genealogy of the tribe of Simeon.
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.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
