    Description

    Who was Tobijah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Tobijah is mentioned in Zec.6.10 and Zec.6.14 as one of the postexilic Jews who provided silver and gold to make crowns for Joshua the high priest. He is described as one of the exiles, along with Heldai and Jedaiah, who came from Babylon to Jerusalem. The crowns were to be placed in the temple as a memorial and a symbol of God's blessing upon Joshua and the future Messiah, the Branch. Tobijah's contribution to this prophetic act demonstrates the participation and support of the returned exiles in the restoration of the temple and the spiritual life of the Jewish community.

    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 Tobijah5 of 5 entities the graph connects to Tobijah, in one group: events 5. 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.Babylon1 event · 268 versesExile1 event · 63 versesHeldai3 events · 2 versesJedaiah3 events · 2 versesJosiah1 event · 2 versesTobijah

    Where the story of Tobijah happensThe one place the claims about Tobijah reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Babylon. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Tobijah there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Babylon
