Hur fathered Uri, and Uri fathered Bezalel.
Judah kept their genealogies better than any other tribe, a special providence of God, to clear the line of Christ. Hezron was one of the seventy who went down to Egypt with Jacob, and his family multiplied there as the oppressed families did; the Jews say he married three times because he burned to see posterity in the house of Pharez, from whom the Messiah would come.

Jerahmeel had also another wife, whose name was Atarah,.... Distinct from his wife before named; or "another woman", which is a phrase for an harlot or concubine, Jdg 11:2 which she might be, as Kimchi observes; though the former seems best: she was the mother of Onam; and perhaps was the only son she bore to Jerahmeel, of whose sons see Ch1 2:28.
The text about Caleb appears tangled in our version: he is called father of Hur in one place and son of Hur in another. The latter passage has been copied wrong and should read 'Hur the son of Caleb.' Azubah was his wife; Jerioth was a secondary wife, mother of those children named.
