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.

Jahdai may be another name for Moza, or possibly the name of one of Caleb's concubines; the text does not settle it with certainty. Of the six sons listed here, Pelet likely gave his name to Bethpalet in Judah, as the records show.

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.
