Ephah also, Caleb’s concubine, bore Haran, Moza, and Gazez; and Haran fathered Gazez.
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.

The families dwelling in Kirjathjearim descended from Shobal and bore names from their ancestors: the Ithrite from Jether, the Puhites from Putha, the Shumathites from Shumath, the Mishraites from Mishra. From the Mishraites came the inhabitants of Zeroth and Eshtaol in Judah.

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.
