1 note on this verse

This site's exposition

the firstborn of Hezron were, Ram the firstborn, and Bunah

on 1 Chronicles 2:25-41

Jerahmeel's branch runs eleven generations in bare names, several closing with the notice that a son died without children, the record's own way of marking a line that goes no further. It ends in Sheshan, who had no sons, so he gave his daughter to Jarha, his Egyptian servant, and their marriage carries the family six more generations to Elishama, an Egyptian proselyte grafted into Judah much as the Moabite woman Ruth is grafted into Ram's own line earlier in this chapter.
