Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records a patriarchal genealogy, listing the offspring of Hezron within the broader tribal lineage of Judah.
The words — חֶצְר֖וֹן (Hezron) identifies the patriarch, while נוֹלַד־ (no.lad) literally denotes "was born," establishing the factual basis of the familial record.
The thread — Ruth 4:19 and Matthew 1:3 trace Hezron to Ram within their respective genealogical frameworks, while 1 Chronicles 2:42 expands the record by detailing the descendants of Caleb, explicitly identifying him as the brother of Jerahmeel.
Why it lands — The text demands recognition of the documented continuity of Judah’s tribal line, requiring the reader to track ancestral links without adding narrative embellishment.
