Ashchur; personal name, 'father of Tekoa' in Judah's genealogy
A personal name appearing in the genealogies of Judah, specifically identified as 'the father of Tekoa.' The exact meaning of the name remains uncertain, though it appears in the intricate genealogical records of 1 Chronicles. Ancient translations render it variously, reflecting the difficulty of determining whether this represents an individual or a clan designation.
Senses
1. sense 1 — This name appears twice in Chronicles' genealogies (1 Chr 2:24; 4:5), both times with the designation 'father of Tekoa'—likely indicating either the founder or a prominent leader of that Judahite town. The Greek translations vary significantly (Ασχω, Σαρα, Ασδωδ, Ασχουρ), suggesting ancient translators also found this name challenging. The phrase 'father of' in genealogical contexts often denotes city founders or clan heads rather than literal paternity. 2×
