and Koz
The name "Koz" is of Hebrew origin, possibly meaning "thorn" or "thorny." In the genealogical context of 1 Chronicles, Koz is a lesser-known figure, yet his mention signifies the importance of every individual in God's unfolding plan. The genealogies in Chronicles serve to remind us that each person, regardless of their prominence, has a role in the divine narrative. Koz's inclusion underscores the value of every life in the tapestry of God's people.

who was the father of Anub and Zobebah
The phrase "father of" in Hebrew genealogies often denotes not just biological parentage but also a broader sense of lineage or leadership within a family or clan. Anub and Zobebah, though not widely known figures, are part of this lineage, illustrating the continuity of God's covenant with His people. The names Anub and Zobebah, while not extensively detailed in Scripture, contribute to the rich tapestry of Israel's history, reminding us that God's promises extend through generations, often in ways unseen or uncelebrated by history.

and the clans of Aharhel
The term "clans" refers to family groups or sub-tribes within the larger tribal structure of Israel. These clans were essential for maintaining social order and religious practices. Aharhel, whose name might mean "behind the mountain" or "after the mountain," represents a specific family group within the tribe of Judah. This mention highlights the diversity and complexity of Israel's tribal system, where each clan had its unique identity and role. It serves as a reminder of the unity and diversity within the body of Christ, where each member contributes to the whole.

son of Harum
The designation "son of" is a common Hebrew expression indicating descent or association. Harum, though not a prominent biblical figure, is part of this genealogical record, emphasizing the importance of heritage and legacy in biblical thought. The mention of Harum ties the narrative back to the broader account of God's people, illustrating how each generation is connected to the past and responsible for the future. This continuity is a testament to God's faithfulness across time, encouraging believers to honor their spiritual heritage and invest in the generations to come.

(8) Coz begat Anub.--Coz (thorn) is unknown.

Anub.--LXX., ????. Comp. Anab, (Joshua 11:21; Joshua 15:50), a town in the hill-country near Debir (Kirjathsepher). The word appears to mean "grape-town" so that "Coz begat Anub" reminds us of Matthew 7:16. Comp. Isaiah 5:6; Isaiah 7:23. . . .

Verse 8. - The link of connection between the persons named in this verse and the tribe of Judah is utterly unknown. The introduction of them, abrupt as it is, is, however, paralleled by many others ira-mediately following in this chapter, as well as elsewhere. Nothing has yet been produced in elucidation of any one of the persons designated by these names, or of their relation to the context.
