His mention here highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the tribes of Israel. Genealogies served to establish identity, inheritance rights, and tribal affiliations. This emphasis on lineage is seen throughout the Old Testament, underscoring the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham regarding his descendants.<p><b>Regem:</b><br>The name Regem means "friend" or "companion." While there is little specific information about Regem, the inclusion of his name in the genealogy signifies the continuation of Jahdai's line. Names in biblical genealogies often carry significant meanings or reflect the character or destiny of the individual.<p><b>Jotham:</b><br>Jotham, meaning "Yahweh is perfect" or "Yahweh is complete," is a name shared by other notable biblical figures, including a king of Judah. The repetition of names across different genealogies can indicate common cultural or religious values, as names often reflect the faith and aspirations of the family.<p><b>Geshan:</b><br>Geshan is another name with limited biblical information. The presence of such names in genealogies serves to connect the broader narrative of Israel's history, showing the diversity and complexity of the tribes and families that make up the nation.<p><b>Pelet:</b><br>Pelet means "deliverance" or "escape." This name may reflect a hope or prayer for divine intervention or protection, a common theme in the lives of the Israelites. The concept of deliverance is central to the biblical narrative, with God repeatedly delivering His people from various forms of bondage and danger.<p><b>Ephah:</b><br>Ephah is a name that appears elsewhere in the Bible, including as a Midianite tribe. The name means "darkness" or "gloom," which could symbolize a period of hardship or trial. The inclusion of such names in genealogies may serve as a reminder of the challenges faced by the ancestors of Israel and God's faithfulness in bringing them through.<p><b>Shaaph:</b><br>Shaaph means "bald" or "bare." While the name itself may not carry significant theological weight, its inclusion in the genealogy underscores the importance of each individual in the unfolding story of God's people. Every name, regardless of its prominence, contributes to the tapestry of Israel's history and God's redemptive plan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jahdai.htm">Jahdai</a></b><br>A lesser-known figure in the genealogies of Judah, Jahdai is listed as the father of six sons.

It is not linked to the context, and nothing is known of the six sons assigned to the person owning it. That Gazez occurs twice in the previous verse is remarkable, and suggestive, possibly, of mistake. The Septuagint omits altogether the clause in which it is found the second time. Houbigant translates, "Porro Haran genuit Jahdai," and so summarily removes the difficulty from his way (Barrington's 'Genealogies,' 1:210). Hiller ('Onomasticon,' S.) would make it the same name as Moza, but without any pretence of argument. A more reasonable suggestion than this might be that Jahdai is the name of yet another concubine of Caleb (Lange, 'O.T. Comm.,' <span class="accented">in loc</span>.). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/2-47.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">The sons</span><br /><span class="heb">וּבְנֵ֖י</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ḇə·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun -
