Description
Who was Jeshua?
Jeshua is mentioned briefly in Ezra as one of the priests who received the temple treasures that were brought back from Babylon. These treasures, which included gold and silver vessels, had been taken from the temple by the Babylonians during the conquest of Jerusalem. When the exiles returned, they brought these treasures back to be used in the rebuilt temple. Jeshua, along with other priests, was responsible for ensuring that the treasures were properly accounted for and stored until the temple was ready for use.
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.
