Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records a continuous priestly lineage for post-exilic Israel, listing successive generations between Zerahiah and Zadok.
The words — The repeated phrase בְּנ֛/וֹ (be.N/o) translates literally as "son/his" and structurally anchors each generational link in the text.
The thread — This verse functions as a middle segment of a unbroken genealogical chain in 1 Chronicles 6, mirroring the same structural pattern in 1 Chronicles 6:51 and 1 Chronicles 6:53.
Why it lands — It requires the reader to track institutional continuity across generations, treating each name as a necessary link rather than a standalone figure.
