Description
Who was Molid?
Molid is mentioned in 1Ch.2.29 as part of the genealogy of the tribe of Judah. He was the son of Abisur and his wife, Abihail.
The genealogy in this passage traces the descendants of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob') (Israel), and provides insight into the family lines within the tribe. Molid is listed as a member of the clan of Jerahmeel, which was one of the major families within Judah.
Apart from being named as the son of Abisur and Abihail, no additional information is provided about Molid's life, occupation, or role within the tribe. The genealogical record serves primarily to establish the lineage and family connections within Judah, rather than to provide detailed accounts of each individual.
The inclusion of Molid in this genealogy highlights the importance of family heritage and tribal identity in ancient Israelite society. It also demonstrates the meticulous record-keeping of the chronicler in preserving the names and relationships of even the lesser-known members of the tribe.
As with many of the individuals mentioned in these genealogies, Molid's contribution to the overall narrative of Israel's history may be limited, but his presence in the record helps to paint a more complete picture of the people and families that made up the nation.
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.
