About Ezrah

Ezrah is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.4.17 as a son of Chelub. He is listed in the genealogy of Judah, but no further information is provided about his life or role within the tribe. The genealogical record in this passage focuses on the descendants of Judah, particularly through the line of Caleb, and Ezrah is one of the many names mentioned without additional details.
