And the descendants of Perez
The name "Perez" comes from the Hebrew root "פָּרַץ" (parats), meaning "to breach" or "to burst forth." Perez was the son of Judah and Tamar, and his birth is recorded in Genesis 38:29. The account of Perez is significant because it highlights God's sovereignty and grace in using unexpected circumstances to fulfill His promises. Perez's lineage is crucial as it leads to King David and ultimately to Jesus Christ, emphasizing God's redemptive plan through history.

were the Hezronite clan
The "Hezronite clan" refers to the descendants of Hezron, one of the sons of Perez. The name "Hezron" is derived from the Hebrew "חֶצְרוֹן" (Chetsron), which may mean "enclosed" or "surrounded by a wall." This could symbolize protection and strength, attributes that are often associated with God's provision for His people. Hezron's descendants played a significant role in the history of Israel, as Hezron is an ancestor of King David, further linking this lineage to the Messianic promise.

and the Hamulite clan
The "Hamulite clan" refers to the descendants of Hamul, another son of Perez. The name "Hamul" comes from the Hebrew "חָמוּל" (Chamuwl), which means "spared" or "pitied." This name reflects God's mercy and compassion, themes that are prevalent throughout the Bible. The inclusion of the Hamulite clan in this census underscores the importance of each family within the tribe of Judah, highlighting the value of every individual in God's eyes and His overarching plan for His people.

(21) Of Hezron . . . --Judah had five sons, but inasmuch as Er and Onan died childless, Hezron and Hamul were substituted in their place. (Comp. Genesis 46:12.)
