His birth was significant because he was born out of an unusual and scandalous situation, yet he became an ancestor of King David and ultimately Jesus Christ, as noted in the genealogies in <a href="/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1</a> and <a href="/luke/3.htm">Luke 3</a>. Perez's lineage is a testament to God's grace and redemption, showing how God can bring about His purposes even through flawed human circumstances. The name Perez means "breach" or "breakthrough," symbolizing a breakthrough in the lineage leading to the Messiah.<p><b>Hezron:</b><br>Hezron is one of the sons of Perez and is an important figure in the genealogical records of Israel. He is mentioned in the genealogies of both <a href="/ruth/4.htm">Ruth 4</a> and <a href="/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1</a>, indicating his role in the lineage of David and Jesus. Hezron's descendants include notable figures such as Caleb and Ram, who are significant in the history of Israel. The tribe of Judah, from which Hezron descends, was prophesied to be the royal tribe, as seen in Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a>, which foretells the coming of a ruler from Judah's line.<p><b>and Hamul.</b><br>Hamul is the other son of Perez, though less is known about him compared to Hezron. His mention in the genealogies underscores the importance of family lineage in the biblical narrative. The inclusion of Hamul in the genealogical records highlights the meticulous nature of these records in preserving the history and heritage of the tribes of Israel. While Hamul himself may not have prominent stories associated with him, his presence in the genealogy serves to complete the record of Perez's descendants, ensuring the continuity of the line leading to the fulfillment of God's promises through Judah.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/perez.htm">Perez</a></b><br>Perez is the son of Judah and Tamar.
