Ezrah (personal name; member of Judah's tribe in Chronicles' genealogies)
Ezrah is a personal name appearing in the genealogies of Judah in 1 Chronicles. The name may mean 'help' or be related to the root for helping, similar to Ezer and Ezra. This Ezrah is listed among the descendants of Judah, part of the complex genealogical records that established tribal identity and land claims. The Septuagint's Greek renderings show attempts to transliterate an unfamiliar Hebrew name. Ezrah appears only in this genealogical context, one of many Judahites whose names were preserved in the tribal records. Hebrew genealogies served crucial functions: they established identity, inheritance rights, and connection to the covenant community, making even a single mention significant.
Senses
1. sense 1 — 1 Chronicles 4:17 lists Ezrah in Judah's genealogy: 'The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon.' Spanish 'Ezra' reflects standard transliteration, though this Ezrah is distinct from the famous scribe and priest. The genealogy places him within Judah's tribal structure, preserving his lineage even though no stories about him survive. His sons' names are recorded, maintaining generational memory. 1×
