Study note
Setting — The Chronicler continues a structured genealogical record of the tribe of Benjamin, tracing the paternal line from Moza through his descendants.
The words — הוֹלִיד (ho.Lid) translates literally as "he fathered," establishing direct biological descent, while the repeated phrase בְּנֹו (ve.N/o) reads "son of him," functioning as a rigid marker for each generational transition.
The thread — This identical sequence appears in the parallel genealogical compilation of 1 Chronicles 9:43, which lists Moza fathering Binea, Raphah, Eleasah, and Azel in the same order.
Why it lands — The text demands the reader acknowledge the deliberate preservation of ancestral lines without supplying narrative explanation or theological commentary.
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.
