Description

Who was Jaroah?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Jaroah is briefly mentioned in 1Ch.5.14 as part of a genealogy of the tribe of Gad. He is listed as the son of Gilead, who was a descendant of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. No further information is provided about Jaroah's life or his role within the tribe of Gad. The genealogy in this chapter traces the descendants of Gad, focusing on the families that settled in the region of Gilead. Jaroah's mention in the genealogy suggests that he was an ancestor of some of the Gadite families that lived in this area.

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.
