Father or founder of Hushah, of Ephrathah.
Who is Ezer in the Bible?
Ezer was a biblical figure mentioned in 1 Chronicles 4:4 as the son of Hur and the grandson of Caleb through his wife Ephrathah. He is identified as the father or founder of Hushah, which may have been either a person or a settlement named after him. Very little is known about Ezer beyond this genealogical reference, as he appears only once in Scripture. His significance lies primarily in his place within the lineage of Caleb and the early descendants of Judah, connecting him to an important family line in Israel's tribal history.
