The sons of Ezrah The name "Ezrah" is derived from the Hebrew root "עֶזְרָה" (Ezrah), meaning "help" or "aid." This name reflects a common theme in the Bible where names often signify the character or destiny of individuals. In the context of 1 Chronicles, the genealogies serve to establish the identity and heritage of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people. Ezrah's lineage is part of the broader narrative of God's faithfulness to His promises.

Epher recurs 1Chronicles 5:24, as a Manassite name. . . . Verses 17, 18. - From the tangle of these verses it is hopeless to attempt any certain conclusions. The fact of the antithesis of the Jewess wife (by some assigned as wife to Ezra), and the presumably Egyptian wife mentioned in the latter verse, is perhaps just enough in the general obscurity to suggest that Mered, the asserted husband of the latter, is to be understood as the husband of the former also But to compass so much as this, we have to overlook omission in ver. 17 and inversion in ver. 18. There is a tone about the verses, due to names they contain, that might suggest to us the times of Egypt and Moses, and traditions in keeping do not fail to come to view in Jerome ('Quaestiones,' etc.; see also art. "Meted," Smith's 'Bible Dictionary'). The four places, Eshtemoa, Gedor, Socho, Zanoah, may all with tolerable confidence be identified in Joshua 15:48-58, as of the number of the cities "in the mountains," though Zanoah and Socho are found also "in the valley" (Joshua 15:33-36). In this passage the Septuagint gives us no help, but betrays its own perplexity, offering to make Jether the father of Miriam; while the Syriac and Arabic versions simply skip the verses as incoherent.Parallel Commentaries ...
