Description

Who was Miniamin?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Miniamin is mentioned in the book of 2 Chronicles as a Levite who served during the reign of King Hezekiah (2Ch.31.15). As part of Hezekiah's religious reforms, the king organized the priests and Levites into their respective divisions and ensured that they received their due portions from the offerings and tithes brought by the people (2Ch.31.2-4). Miniamin, along with Eden, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, was appointed to distribute these portions faithfully to their fellow Levites in their cities, both to the older and younger generations (2Ch.31.15). This distribution was carried out according to the genealogical records and the responsibilities of the Levites in their service at the temple (2Ch.31.16-18). Miniamin's role in this process highlights the importance of proper organization and fairness in the administration of the temple and the support of the Levites.

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 Miniamin8 of 8 entities the graph connects to Miniamin, in 2 groups: company 1, events 7. 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.Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, Shecaniah, and Portion Distributors’ distributionTook part in · 3 versesCompanyDivision1 event · 100 versesConaniah1 event · 3 versesAmariah1 event · 1 verseEden1 event · 1 verseJeshua1 event · 1 verseShecaniah1 event · 1 verseShemaiah1 event · 1 verseEventsMiniamin

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.
