Conditional birth estimate

Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.

The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.

Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Hezron Summary STEPBible TIPNR

Hezron was the son of Perez and grandson of Judah, and his descendants formed the Hezronite clan within the tribe of Judah.

Hezron Article STEPBible TIPNR

Hezron was the son of Perez and the grandson of Judah, as recorded in Gen 46:12, Num 26:21, and 1Ch 2:5. He was born in Canaan and was one of the 70 members of Jacob's household who migrated to Egypt during the time of Joseph. Hezron's descendants formed a clan within the tribe of Judah, known as the Hezronites (Num.26.6, 21).

Hezron is mentioned in the genealogy of King David in Rut 4:18-19 and 1Ch 2:9-25. He is also listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in Mat 1:3 and Luk 3:33, emphasizing his importance in the lineage of the Messiah.

According to 1Ch 2:18-25, Hezron had several children, including Jerahmeel, Ram (the ancestor of King David), and Caleb. He married the daughter of Machir, the father of Gilead, in his old age and had a son named Segub, who became the father of Jair.

As a descendant of Judah and an ancestor of King David and Jesus Christ, Hezron played a significant role in the history of Israel and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
