Jump to: Hitchcock's • Smith's • ISBE • Easton's • Concordance • Thesaurus • Greek • Hebrew • Library • Subtopics • Terms Topical Encyclopedia Hezron is a significant figure in the genealogical records of the Bible, particularly within the lineage of the tribe of Judah. His name, meaning "enclosed" or "surrounded by a wall," is mentioned in several key passages that highlight his role in the ancestry of notable biblical figures.Genealogy and Family Lineage Hezron is first introduced in the Book of Genesis as a descendant of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob. In Genesis 46:12 , the genealogy of Judah is outlined: "The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul." This passage establishes Hezron as a grandson of Judah through Perez, making him part of the Messianic line that would eventually lead to King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ. The Book of Ruth further emphasizes Hezron's place in the lineage of David. Ruth 4:18-22 provides a genealogical record: "Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron, Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon, Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed, Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David." This passage underscores Hezron's critical role in the ancestry of Israel's greatest king. Tribal Significance Hezron's descendants played a vital role in the establishment and development of the tribe of Judah. In 1 Chronicles 2:9 , the chronicler records, "The sons who were born to Hezron: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb." These sons became progenitors of significant clans within the tribe, contributing to its growth and influence in the history of Israel. Hezron's Legacy Hezron's legacy is not only genealogical but also spiritual, as his lineage is intricately connected to the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Through Hezron, the line of Judah is preserved, leading to the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, as prophesied in the Old Testament. This connection is affirmed in the New Testament, where the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:3 includes Hezron: "Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram." In summary, Hezron is a pivotal figure in biblical history, representing the continuity of God's covenantal promises through the tribe of Judah. His descendants played crucial roles in the unfolding narrative of Israel, and his lineage is a testament to God's faithfulness in bringing forth the Savior of the world.
