Hezron's lineage is crucial as it connects to the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. This genealogy underscores God's faithfulness in preserving the line through which the Messiah would come. Hezron's mention in the genealogy highlights the continuity of God's covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The genealogical records in the Bible serve to authenticate the historical reality of these figures and their roles in God's redemptive plan.<p><b>Ram was the father of Amminadab</b><br>Ram, also known as Aram in some biblical texts, continues the lineage leading to King David. The name Ram means "exalted" or "high," which may reflect the esteemed position of his descendants. Amminadab, Ram's son, is a notable figure as he is the father-in-law of Aaron, Moses' brother, through his daughter Elisheba. This connection ties the royal line of Judah to the priestly line of Levi, illustrating the unity and interdependence of the tribes of Israel. The genealogical record here emphasizes the divine orchestration of history, ensuring that the lineage leading to the Messiah is preserved through various familial and tribal connections.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hezron.htm">Hezron</a></b><br>A descendant of Judah, Hezron is part of the genealogy that leads to King David and ultimately to Jesus Christ.
