This personal name designates an Egyptian servant who received an unusual privilege: marriage to his master's daughter. Since Sheshan had no sons, he gave his daughter to Yarcha, thereby incorporating this foreigner into the Judahite lineage. The name appears with a prepositional prefix in one occurrence ("to Yarcha"), marking the marriage transaction. This narrative detail reveals the flexibility of genealogical boundaries and the importance of preserving family lines even through irregular means.
