    Description

    Who was Meremoth?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Meremoth was a priest who returned from the Babylonian exile. He was among those who received the silver, gold, and vessels brought back to Jerusalem by Ezra (Ezr.8.33). During the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem under Nehemiah, Meremoth, the son of Uriah, repaired two sections of the wall (Neh.3.4,21). He is also listed among the priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah to follow the Law of God (Neh.10.5). In the lists of priests and Levites who returned with Zerubbabel, Meremoth is mentioned as the head of a priestly family (Neh.12.3,15).

    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 Meremoth10 of 18 entities the graph connects to Meremoth, in 2 groups: company 2, events 8. 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.
