    Description

    Who was Uzzah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Uzzah was a man who died while transporting the ark of the covenant. He and his brother Ahio were guiding the cart carrying the ark when the oxen stumbled. Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, but God struck him down for his irreverent act, and he died there beside the ark. The place where this occurred was named Perez-uzzah, which means "outbreak against Uzzah," and David was angry and afraid because of this divine judgment. The ark was then taken aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

    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 Uzzah10 of 11 entities the graph connects to Uzzah, in 3 groups: kinship 2, company 3, 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.AbinadabChild of · 4 versesAhioSibling of · 2 events · 3 versesKinshipDavid, Israel, Uzzah, and Ahio’s going up of ArkTook part in · 2 versesLORD’s striking down of UzzahTook part in · 2 versesStriking Down of UzzahTook part in · 2 versesCompanyIsrael1 event · 2,578 versesLORD1 event · 1,004 versesDavid1 event · 964 versesKiriath-jearim1 event · 22 versesArk Of God2 events · 11 versesEventsUzzah

    Where this happens

    The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.

    Where the story of Uzzah happensThe one place the claims about Uzzah reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Kiriath-jearim. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Uzzah 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.Kiriath-jearim
