Study note
Setting — The chronicler records the post-exilic resettlement of Jerusalem, continuing the census of Judah’s descendants begun in the preceding verse.
The words — `בֶּן` (ben) = son, and `עוּתַי` (Uthai) = Uthai.
The thread — The lineage traces back to Perez through Genesis 46:12 and Numbers 26:20, while 1 Chronicles 2:5 names Perez’s immediate sons as Hezron and Hamul.
Why it lands — The text demands recognition of how specific family lines are preserved and reestablished in Jerusalem after displacement.
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.
