1 Chronicles 2:46
“Ephah, Caleb’s concubine, bore Haran, Moza, and Gazez; and Haran became the father of Gazez.”
What does 1 Chronicles 2:46 mean?
This verse is part of a genealogy tracing Caleb's family line, and it shows us that even the detailed, sometimes overlooked ancestral records of Scripture include women and their children. Ephah, though listed as a concubine (a secondary wife arrangement common in that ancient culture), is still named and credited as a mother, which was significant in a society where lineage mattered deeply. The passage reminds us that God's attention extends to all people in a family tree, not just the most prominent figures, and that every person and relationship has worth in His sight.
