Life

2 offices on record

Holding an office is not parentage and not discipleship.

What this means

As the records give them: every row is a third party’s statement, not a self-description, and a role or an affiliation is often held for one period of a life only. An affiliation is not a belief, and this site does not ask anyone about theirs. For an office: which one, for how long, and where the records give an ordinal or the holders either side. Recognition of a tenure is never universal: contested lines appear as overlapping tenures rather than as one corrected sequence.

Family

The family of Isaac

Parents, consorts and children as the accounts give them. Choose a consort to see the children the stories give the two.

Accounts differ about a god’s family. Where they name different parents, the tree sets them side by side instead of choosing one.

As the accounts tell it
The family as a list · 7

Kinship in an account 7

What this means

Parentage as a named source tells it. Not an independently established biological relationship, and different accounts disagree.

Does not imply an independently established biological relationship · agreement between accounts · marriage as a legal institution · exclusivity, or a single canonical pairing · shared parentage in every account · descent from the same generation in a single tree

Connections

How Isaac connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Affiliation 1

What this means

Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Does not imply personal belief at every point in a life · the practice of a population

Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.

  • belongs to belongs to: recorded as none

Identification 1

What this means

One figure treated as another in some context. Not literal identity in all contexts, and usually a claim by a third party.

Does not imply literal identity in all contexts · that either tradition made the identification

Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.

Recorded events and days 2

What this means

Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began.

Does not imply that these are all the events in its history · that Wikidata ranks the events by importance
