And after that Hezron was dead in Caleb-ephratah<\/em> (R.V. ephrathah<\/strong>)]<\/p>\n The text of this passage is probably corrupt, for (1) “Caleb-ephrathah” is a very strange combination to signify the name of a place, (2) Vulg. LXX. have a verb (ingressus est, ) instead of the preposition, “in”. A few small changes in the Heb. would yield the sense, “ And after Hezron was dead Caleb went in to Ephrath<\/strong> (1Ch 2:19<\/span>) his father Hezron’s wife and she bare him<\/strong> ” etc.<\/p>\n Ashur<\/em> ] R.V.

Others translate the words thus, When Caleb took Ephratah<\/I>. So it is an ellipsis of the verb, which is here to be understood out of 1Ch 2:19<\/span>, where it is expressed. <\/P> Abiah bare him Ashur, <\/B>after the fathers death. <\/P> The father of Tekoa; <\/B>a known place, 2Sa 14:2<\/span>,4<\/span>; Jer 6:1<\/span>; Amo 1:1<\/span>; whose father he is called, because he was either the progenitor of the people inhabiting there, or their prince and ruler, or the builder of the city. <\/P> <\/p>\n 24.

The text is evidently corrupt. The best suggestion is based on the reading of the LXX.: ; And after Hezrons death Caleb went to Ephrath. Some very slight changes in the Hebrew, affecting only three letters of the entire sentence, will give the sense, And after Hezrons death Caleb went in to Ephrath, the wife of his father Hezron (1Ch. 2:19<\/span>); and she bare him Ash-hur, father (founder, or chief) of Tekoa. (Comp. Gen. 35:22<\/span>.)<\/p>\n Ashur<\/strong> (Heb., Ash-hur<\/em>) means man of Hurthat is, the chief of the clan of the Hurites, settled at Ephrath or Bethlehem (1Ch. 2:19<\/span>). Comp.

(Ash<\/em> is the elder form of Ish<\/em> man; as appears from the Phenician inscriptions.)<\/p>\n That Caleb in this verse means the house of Caleb is evident if we consider that the genealogy makes him<\/em> great grandson of Judah, whereas the individual Caleb son of Jephunneh took part in the conquest of Canaan, more than four centuries after Judah went down to Egypt.<\/p>\n III.The Jerahmeelites<\/strong> (1Ch. 2:25-41<\/span>).

Some wrongly affirm that this grandson of Judah must have died in Egypt. True, Hezron lived in Egypt, but did no one ever leave Egypt? Had he not heard of Abraham’s sepulchre and Jacob’s funeral? Had he no faith and no thoughts of God’s promises? The difficulty is created gratuitously. His death there gave the name to the place, afterward called Beth-lehem. <\/p>\n Calebephratah: 1Ch 2:9, 1Ch 2:18, 1Ch 2:19, 1Sa 30:14 <\/p>\n Ashur: 1Ch 4:5 <\/p>\n Tekoa: 2Sa 14:2, Amo 1:1 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ch 2:42 – Caleb 1Ch 9:35 – the father<\/p>\n 1Ch 2:24.
