Description
Who was Jedaiah?
Jedaiah is mentioned in Neh.12.7 and Neh.12.21 as one of the priests who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel, the leader of the first group of exiles to return from Babylon. In verse 7, he is listed among the priests who came back to Jerusalem, indicating his role in the restoration of temple worship and the spiritual life of the community. In verse 21, Jedaiah is mentioned again in the context of the priests who served during the time of Joiakim, the high priest. This suggests that Jedaiah and his descendants continued to serve as priests in the generations following the return from exile. The repeated mention of Jedaiah in the context of the post-exilic priesthood highlights the importance of his family in maintaining the priestly duties and the continuity of temple service.
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.

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.
