1 Chronicles 4:16

Study note

Setting — The narrator continues a genealogical register, listing descendants in sequence without recording a speech or addressing a specific audience.

The words — The Hebrew phrase וּבְנֵי (uve.Nei), literally “and the sons of,” functions as the standard genealogical introducer for each new family line.

The thread — This verse extends the chapter’s pattern of tracing Judah’s descendants, positioned between the record of Caleb’s family and the list of Ezrah’s line.

Why it lands — It requires the reader to track the continuity of the recorded lineage and recognize how each name anchors the broader tribal structure.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
