Description
Who was Jemuel?
Jemuel, also known as Nemuel, was one of the sons of Simeon, the second son of Israel (or 'Jacob') and Leah. He is mentioned in the lists of Jacob's descendants who went to Egypt during the famine and in the census of the Israelites in the wilderness. In Numbers, the descendants of Jemuel are referred to as the Nemuelite clan, indicating that he was the founder of this family group within the tribe of Simeon. The variations in his name (Jemuel and Nemuel) may be due to textual transmission or linguistic differences. Beyond these genealogical references, no further information is provided about Jemuel's life or role in the family history.
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.
