Description
Who was Machi?
Machi is mentioned in the book of Numbers as the father of Geuel, who was one of the twelve scouts sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan (Num.13.15). Each scout was chosen as a leader from their respective tribes, and Geuel represented the tribe of Gad. The scouts were tasked with surveying the land, assessing its fertility, and gathering information about the inhabitants (Num.13.17-20). Upon their return, the scouts reported that the land was bountiful but the inhabitants were powerful, which discouraged the Israelites and led to their refusal to enter the land (Num.13.25-33). As a result, God condemned the generation to wander in the wilderness for forty years (Num.14.26-35).
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.
