    Description

    Who was Jokim?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jokim is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.4.22 as part of the genealogy of Judah, specifically within the lineage of Shelah, one of Judah's sons. The genealogy in this chapter traces the descendants of Judah, providing a record of the families and clans that comprised this important tribe in Israel.

    Jokim is listed along with several other names, including Jozeh and the men of Cozeba, as well as Joash and Saraph, who are described as having "dominion in Moab" and "Jashubi-lehem." The exact nature of their dominion and the meaning of "Jashubi-lehem" are unclear from the text.

    No further details are provided about Jokim's life, his specific place within the family lineage, or any notable achievements. His mention in the genealogy serves primarily to document the continuity of Judah's descendants and to highlight the significance of the tribe in the history of Israel.

    The inclusion of these names and the reference to their dominion in Moab may also suggest that some members of Judah's lineage had connections or influence beyond the borders of Israel. However, without additional context, the implications of these details remain uncertain.

    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.

    How the graph connects Jokim7 of 7 entities the graph connects to Jokim, in 2 groups: kinship 5, events 2. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.ShelahChild of · 8 versesErSibling of · 1 verseJoashSibling of · 1 event · 1 verseLaadahSibling of · 1 verseSaraphSibling of · 1 event · 1 verseKinshipMoab1 event · 160 versesBethlehem1 event · 53 versesEventsJokim
