Perez Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Perez was the son of Judah and Tamar, born in unusual circumstances described in Genesis 38. He was the twin brother of Zerah and was named Perez (meaning "breach" or "breaking forth") because he broke out first during the delivery (Gen 38:29). Perez became the ancestor of a prominent clan within the tribe of Judah (Num 26:20-21). He is mentioned in the genealogy of King David (Rut.4.12,18; 1Ch 2:4-5) and is an ancestor of several notable figures, including Hezron, Caleb, and Nahshon (1Ch.2.5,9,10). The descendants of Perez were among those who settled in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile (Neh.11.4,6). Most significantly, Perez is listed in the genealogies of Jesus Christ in both Mat 1:3 and Luk 3:33, highlighting his important role in the lineage of the Messiah.
Perez Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
'=Pharez, (q.v.), breach, the son of Judah (Neh. 11:4). “The chief of all the captains of the host for the first month” in the reign of David was taken from his family (1 Chr. 27:3). Four hundred and sixty-eight of his “sons” came back from captivity with Zerubbabel, who himself was one of them (1 Chr. 9:4; Neh. 11:6).
