Description

Who was Noah?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Noah was the son of Lamech, a descendant of Seth (Gen.5.29-30). He was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God (Gen.6.9). When God saw the wickedness of humanity, He chose Noah to build an ark to save his family and representatives of all animals from the coming flood (Gen.6.13-22). Noah obeyed God and built the ark, and he and his family entered it along with the animals (Genesis 7). After the flood, Noah built an altar and made sacrifices to God (Gen.8.20). God blessed Noah and his sons, establishing a covenant with them and setting the rainbow as a sign of His promise never to destroy the earth by flood again (Genesis 9). Noah lived for 950 years (Gen.9.29). He is remembered as an example of faith (Heb.11.7) and righteousness (Ezk.14.14, 20; 2Pe.2.5).

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 Noah10 of 19 entities the graph connects to Noah, in 2 groups: kinship 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. Distance from the centre carries nothing.ShemFather of · 2 events · 17 versesJaphethFather of · 2 events · 11 versesKinshipJesus1 event · 1,160 versesRighteousness2 events · 158 versesDaniel3 events · 72 versesBird3 events · 69 versesJob3 events · 53 versesAnimal2 events · 46 versesLightning2 events · 23 versesLiving Creature4 events · 22 versesEventsNoah

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.

No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
