Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records a genealogical list for post-exilic Judah, noting the immediate descendants of Hezron at this point in the ancestral register.
The words — בְּכ֥וֹר (be.Khor) = firstborn and בְנֵי־ (ve.nei-) = sons of structure the entry, marking birth order and familial grouping.
The thread — This genealogical pattern repeats in Genesis 25:2-3 and Exodus 6:15-16, where tribal identities are anchored through recorded progeny and birth order.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to accept the documented lineage as historical record and to recognize how birth order functioned as a structural marker for tribal identity.
