    Description

    Who was Joseph?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Joseph is mentioned in 1Chronicles 25 as one of the sons of Asaph, a prominent Levitical musician during the reign of King David. Asaph, along with Heman and Jeduthun, was appointed by David to lead the music and thanksgiving in the house of the Lord (1Ch.25.1). The sons of Asaph, including Joseph, were set apart for the ministry of prophesying and providing musical accompaniment with cymbals, harps, and lyres (1Ch.25.2). They served under the direction of their father, Asaph, who prophesied under the king's supervision (1Ch.25.2). Joseph was also among those who were assigned duties by casting lots, ensuring a fair distribution of responsibilities (1Ch.25.9).

    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 Joseph10 of 14 entities the graph connects to Joseph, in 3 groups: kinship 3, company 1, events 6. 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.AsaphChild of · 1 event · 33 versesZaccurSibling of · 1 event · 3 versesAsharelahSibling of · 2 versesKinshipMusicians’ casting lotsTook part in · 16 versesCompanyObed-edom1 event · 16 versesBukkiah1 event · 2 versesGedaliah1 event · 2 versesHananiah1 event · 2 versesHashabiah1 event · 2 versesJeshaiah1 event · 2 versesEventsJoseph

    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.
