Description
Caleb Ephrathah in the text
Caleb Ephrathah is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.2.24 as the place where Hezron, the son of Perez and grandson of Judah, died. The verse states that after Hezron's death in Caleb Ephrathah, his wife Abijah bore him a son named Ashhur, who became the father of Tekoa.
The exact location and significance of Caleb Ephrathah are unclear from this single reference. Some scholars suggest that it may refer to a region or a town associated with the descendants of Caleb, the faithful spy who was rewarded with a portion of the Promised Land (Numbers 14:24; Joshua 14:13-14). The name Ephrathah is also associated with Bethlehem, the birthplace of David (Ruth 4:11; Micah 5:2).
However, the meaning of the verse may be different, so that Caleb and Ephrathah are names of people.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
