Description
Who was Zerahiah?
Zerahiah was a descendant of Pahath-Moab, one of the clans that returned to Jerusalem from Babylonian exile with Ezra. In Ezra 8, which lists the family heads and the number of men who accompanied Ezra, Zerahiah is mentioned as the leader of 200 men of Pahath-Moab. This indicates that he held a position of responsibility and leadership within his clan. The return led by Ezra was significant in the history of Israel, as it marked a renewed commitment to the Law of Moses and the restoration of Jewish worship in Jerusalem. Zerahiah's participation in this journey demonstrates his devotion to God and his support for Ezra's mission.
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.
