Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records the paternal succession of Judah’s line immediately after listing Hezron’s sons.
The words — הוֹלִ֣יד (ho.Lid) = "he fathered" denotes biological paternity, while נַחְשׁ֔וֹן (nach.Shon) = "Nahshon" identifies the third-generation descendant.
The thread — Matthew 1:4 repeats this exact paternal sequence to establish Jesus’ ancestral line. Numbers 1:7 and Numbers 2:3 record Nahshon’s role as the appointed tribal leader of Judah.
Why it lands — The text states that Nahshon held recognized authority over Judah’s descendants, requiring the reader to acknowledge documented lineage continuity and established tribal leadership.
