    Description

    Who was Meshullam?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Meshullam, the son of Berechiah, is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as one of the individuals who helped repair the wall of Jerusalem during Nehemiah's time (Neh.3.4,30). He worked on two sections of the wall, one near the Fish Gate and another near his own house. Meshullam's involvement in the wall reconstruction demonstrates his commitment to the restoration of Jerusalem and the security of its inhabitants. Later in the book, it is mentioned that Meshullam's son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Sanballat the Horonite, one of Nehemiah's main adversaries (Neh.6.18). This family connection may have complicated Meshullam's role in the ongoing political tensions surrounding the rebuilding of Jerusalem, but no further details are provided in the biblical text.

    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 Meshullam10 of 15 entities the graph connects to Meshullam, in 3 groups: kinship 1, company 1, 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. Distance from the centre carries nothing.BerechiahChild of · 3 versesKinshipEliashib, Fellow Priests, Men Of Jericho, Zaccur, Sons Of Hassenaah, Meremoth, Meshullam, Zadok, and Joiada’s rebuilding of Rebuilding and Jeshanah Gate BeamsTook part in · 5 versesCompanyRebuilding1 event · 37 versesMeremoth1 event · 6 versesFish Gate1 event · 4 versesSheep Gate1 event · 4 versesTower of Hananel1 event · 4 versesEliashib1 event · 3 versesSons Of Hassenaah1 event · 2 versesTower of the Hundred1 event · 2 versesEventsMeshullam
