Description
Who was Jeremiah?
Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, is mentioned in the book of Jeremiah as a member of the Rechabite clan. The Rechabites were a nomadic group known for their strict adherence to the commands of their ancestor, Jonadab son of Rechab. They abstained from drinking wine, building houses, sowing seed, and planting vineyards.
The prophet Jeremiah was instructed by God to test the Rechabites' obedience. He brought them into the temple and offered them wine to drink. However, the Rechabites, including Jeremiah son of Habazziniah, refused to drink the wine, stating that they were following the commands of their ancestor Jonadab.
The prophet Jeremiah then used the Rechabites' obedience as a contrast to the disobedience of the people of Judah. He praised the Rechabites for their faithfulness and declared that they would always have a descendant to serve God because of their commitment to their ancestor's commands. This event highlights the importance of obedience and faithfulness to God, even in the face of societal pressure to conform.
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.
