    Description

    Who was Korah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Korah was a son of Esau and his wife Oholibamah (Gen.36.5, 18; 1Ch.1.35). He was born in Canaan before Esau moved his family to Seir (Gen.36.5-8). Korah was a grandson of Zibeon the Hivite (Gen.36.14). He became one of the chiefs of Edom (Gen.36.18).

    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 Korah9 of 9 entities the graph connects to Korah, in 3 groups: kinship 6, company 1, 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.EsauChild of · 1 event · 84 versesEliphazSibling of · 8 versesOholibamahChild of · 2 events · 7 versesReuelSibling of · 6 versesJalamSibling of · 2 events · 4 versesJeushSibling of · 2 events · 4 versesKinshipOholibamah’s birthTook part in · 3 versesCompanyCanaan1 event · 146 versesChief1 event · 18 versesEventsKorah

    Where this happens

    The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.

    Where the story of Korah happensThe one place the claims about Korah reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Canaan. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Korah there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Canaan
